When Sandy Came to Town

When Sandy came to town...

School was cancelled for two days.

We played games.

We watched movies.

We made Halloween sugar cookies...

We played out in the wind and the rain.

We pulled out lanterns, candles and flashlights when we lost power.

We crashed a friends house to watch a movie with them rather then sit home in the dark.

Only Bret has such an amazing work ethic that he'll put together a piece of furniture using a head lamp for light in a dark house.

We put our food in laundry baskets on the front porch when we lost power to keep them cold.

We went to see a movie with four other families in the ward.  

We made hot chocolate on the stove.

And then we all cheered when the power came back on.  Gavin walked around and turned on every light in the entire house.
