Today was our last trip to the shore. The kids and I went with our friend Jodi and her daughters Emma & Charlie. While the weather was not great the rain held out until we got back in the car to head home. We shopped, ate lunch and enjoyed the boardwalk rides.
After a fun day it was time to head home for hurricane preparation! Hurricane Irene arrived on Saturday the 27th. Thankfully we did not loose power so the sump pump was able to keep up with the rain. We got a ton of rain (7.5 inches) in 24 hours but we did not have any flooding here. It sure was scary to have to do all the prep work and then just sit and wait for the hurricane to arrive! The kids and I slept in the basement to avoid hearing the wind. Rob was on the couch in the family room just in case of a problem. Besides a restless night of interrupted sleep we did great.
Now we are going to relax and enjoy Labor Day Weekend and then Tuesday it's back to school for the kids!!!!
