Irene Comes To Visit

Hurricane Irene dropped by Albany.  We were lucky

to not get hit too hard, but it was a pretty big deal.

So they started warning about the storm in the middle of the 

week and on Friday our church got canceled and so we got ready 

for the big storm.  J.C. was supposed to be taking his boards 

during the storm and they didn't cancel it so he left at about

7:30 that morning and then showed up back at home around 8:00

and said they left a note on the door that said the test was 

canceled.  J.C. was not very happy about it but I'm just glad

that I wasn't home alone during this storm.   Anyways, it rained
hard and had strong winds.  We were with out power for 24 hours

and although I didn't like it, Georgia LOVED it.  

She had so much fun with the flash lights and daddy playing

hide and seek in the dark.  We put Georgia to bed and Jace 

and I played Rummikub by head lamp.  

We also just had fun talking and laughing together.

You don't realize how nice it was to have the t.v and 

computer taken away. we couldn't even use our phones 

because they were about to die and we couldn't charge them. 

  Jace said to me a few day's later I wish

we could have no power more often cause that was fun

just to talk and playing games and I agreed

Here G is hiding from Jace playing hide and seek.  Notice her

nice head lamp she loved it.

 We stayed in our P.J's all day and just hung out.

 

Millie didn't mind no power she still had her 

warm meals every 3 hours as usual.

 Playing Rummikub

 Here is the tree that fell down on our street.

It was a huge tree and fell on the house across the street.

 And here is the tree in the day light

The next day we woke up early and it was a nice

day and we still didn't have power so we went to the park 

to go jogging and also so G could ride her bike.  We got

there and had a small problem 80% of the park was under water

I was able to jog but i came home with soaking wet socks

and pants and G got to ride her bike too which she loved.

This is the parking lot at the park

 We couldn't even make it to the playground cause to get there I 

would have had to wade through two feet of water.

We are just grateful that we didn't get hit to bad and 

happy that we were keep safe.
