Irene

We weathered Hurrican Irene fairly well.  We did lose power for a few days and with two kids, that can be "interesting".  There were points where I considered letting the kids put on their bathing suits and go outside and play in the rain but my logical side and my husband got the better of me....plus, the wind was kind of, um, strong!  Once the storm died down and the rain had stopped for the most part, the kids and I ventured out to the car to let my iPhone charge and they got to play for a bit!  Nothing too exciting but after being trapped in the dark and inside for a few days, this was QUITE welcomed!
