Gustav Evacuation Vacation

We kind of jumped out of the fire into the frying pan with our evacuation. Gustav didn't hit New Orleans as hard as expected, but it did some serious damage to a lot of other places. My mom's house never flooded, but many in her town did. We were anxiously watching the water rise through the night though. At one point we wondered about sandbags, but the road was already too flooded to do anything. Mom never lost power, but my sister did. So, she just joined the fun at mom's house. The kids were delighted to have Aunt Steph spend the night, and Aunt Steph loves all of the attention!

The street and sidewalks were completely covered.

Once the rain subsided, we found a chance for some serious fun! The kids joined my nephews at an indoor playplace for a morning of much needed exercise!

I'm a big girl now!


Check me out!

We can all fit in here! Hannah opted out on that opportunity - Smart Girl!

It's almost naptime!

TROUBLE!
