We got lucky with Hurricane Irene's arrival, as we didn't have any serious damage & even managed to not be without power for too long. We lost it on & off Friday evening & then it went out for good around 1am & came back on at 11am Saturday morning. Fortunately our friends came over Friday night for a slumber party, so we were entertained during the long night. John spent most of the day working hard cleaning up the yard while I cleaned up the house. After having the kids stuck inside for a couple days, it actually looks more like a hurricane hit the
inside of our house! He & Ian went out this afternoon to put the boat back in the water & are hopefully enjoying some time out on the island in this gorgeous weather!
Ian's rain dance
These kids didn't have to rough it too bad, they even had power at bedtime for a movie.
We mostly had small limbs in our yard, this bigger one landed on the roof of our garage, but luckily did no damage.
The sky was gorgeous last night. Everyone had cabin fever, so we met a bunch of friends out for an early dinner & saw a pretty rainbow over the water on our drive home. This picture was from our front yard at sunset.
