Black out

About three weeks the kids experienced their first ever 24 hour black out. Due to high winds, many trees and branches falling over the entire city of Lynden lost power. The last time I can remember it being this bad was when I was younger and we would get these huge snowstorms that would keep us in the house for days. Luckily for us it was during the end of summer and the weather was still warm enough to be outside. We filled in our electronic free time with cleaning out the cars, walking the neighborhood, going to the grocery store for snacks for dinner, listening to the Seahawks game in the car and playing games by candles and lantern. 

Sunday morning it came up about 9:30 in the morning in time for us to have hot showers and head to church. It will definitely be one of those times the kids will bring up later and say remember when....
