Weather Woes on Friday, July 6, 2012

It has been a crazy week, starting with a freak storm last Friday night.  I slept right through it but the whipping wind knocked down branches and tree limbs, threw our patio furniture around, and finished off by taking out our power for five days.  We attempted to make the most of it--ate out lots, spent one night in a hotel, and spent a lot of time in the basement.  On the afternoon of July 4, the power was restored.  We spent the day in anticipation!  We also enjoyed our neighborhood's parade and picnic, some time at the pool, and our own fireworks display in the backyard.  You will see from the video below that I led the parade.  Though, someone forgot to tell me that it was a parade not a race.  I got to the end and declared, "I won." By the end of the day, we all fell asleep exhausted in our almost-cool home, listening to the big fireworks in the distance.
