Hurricane Hannah
Okay, I realize that it was not actually a hurricane when it hit us, in fact it wasn't even 'technically' a tropical storm when it hit, but nonetheless we enjoyed the extreme weather anyway :-)
The kids had so much fun playing in the rain, the street looked like a shallow river the entire day! The stream down the street on the path filled FAR beyond capacity and knocked down the weeds and brush about 3 feet beyond the banks.
Some neighbors were bailing water out of their basements and we did lose power for about 45 minutes.
Kenzi and Cam spent quite a bit of time outside with their umbrellas.
Mommy was curled up on the screened porch reading 'Twilight' and enjoying the beautiful sound of the birds and the rain.
The kids did get completely soaked, the umbrellas really didn't do them any good, with the wind blowing the rain in all directions, they got soaked anyway.
Here is Soaking wet Kenzi! The coats didn't do a whole lot for them, your going to be cold no matter what if you are drenched.
They both came in begging for mommy's cashew milk hot chocolate!
**That hot chocolate recipe won an award in a recipe contest!
Anyone who wants to try the recipe, email me and I'll send it to you, it's delicious!
And here is little Cam, gee that umbrella is REALLY working for him isn't it! Oh, well the most important thing is that they were having a BALL out there in the rain.
You can't tell from the photos but it POURED for about 24 hours. I've never seen so much rain in my entire life!
Well you can tell how much they enjoyed the rain because it's dark and they were still out playing! We finally made them come inside and get in the warm tub.
It was a very quiet day at home and I read most of Twilight that day. I couldn't put the book down, that was an AWESOME book. I highly recommend it.
