Power Outage

Sunday morning at about 1:15am our power went out because of the storms from the hurricane. Kelsey woke up not much later because her noise was off and her room was pitch dark, so she got to come downstairs with us. We finally decide about an hour later that we couldn't do anything about it and went back to bed (Kelsey in our bed). All day Sunday Kelsey kept asking to watch cartoons or to play her computer game. You don't really realize how many of your everyday things take electricity until you don't have it. So most of the day we played outside and did yard work. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day. We had our windows open and a breeze came through. We did end up putting some of our food on ice because the electric company was saying that some people may not get power back for a few days, so we didn't want to take any chances. That night we had the neighbors over to cook out and play some cards by candle light, but just as we put the steaks on the grill, the power came back on! We still played cards and ate together, but we had lights and air-conditioning. I was kind of looking forward to eating by candle light, but we used just used the regular old lights. Monday, Kelsey kept asking if the TV worked so she could watch her cartoons and if the light in her room worked so she wouldn't be scared anymore. I had to keep assuring her that they did work.

While Shawn was getting the grill ready to cook the steaks, he opened up the umbrella to the table and chairs on the patio. You will never believe what was in there....a BAT!!
