The next few blogs will be about our experience with Hurricane Irene. Even though there was so much damage, we are so thankful for many things. First and foremost - we had water!!! Water - toilet, cold showers, dishes, cooking. We did have 15 gallons of water ready before I found out that we had city water and I guess the city had generators for the water. YAY!!! We fared better than many people! I was very thankful for my texting friends - Josiah, Sarah, Lauren and Megan. I felt "in touch" with people for the first couple of days after the hurricane - and it was good for my sanity! Another thing that I was thankful for was awesome family time. I had such a good time with the girls. We worked together during this "crisis" and everything went very smooth.
The following pictures were taken at Ocean Beach on Sunday afternoon - about 3pm. I would like to note that the pictures were auto enhanced because they were extremely grey. It was a very grey day on Sunday. The sky was not blue at all. I wanted you to see the magnitude of the crashing waves. :)
You can see how windy it was by Tuna's shirt (orange).
Tuna played tag with the ocean...
...and lost.
I was trying to get pictures of the girls with the waves behind them, but Gabbie was a little apprehensive.
