Post-Mandatory Evacuation

Thankfully, Isaac was no big deal for us.  To sum it up, it was just another rainy day.  The "worst" was Tuesday, and it rained off an on throughout the day (and when it wasn't raining, it was sunny skies) and there was one 25 minute period where it rained really hard.  The power flickered once, and it was windy, but the leaves all easily stayed on the trees.  Our house didn't flood.  In fact, the water didn't even come close.  I did notice that the water was about 2 feet above where it usually is, but that isn't even close to topping our little sea wall.  But, just in case, we were super ready.  We got everything up off the floor and took off for our friend's house.



 Don't worry - the TV went up and in our closet later.  I just didn't get a picture.
This was the worst rain of the day, and also when I realized that it's really hard to get a picture of rain falling.  It doesn't look hard, but it was raining HARD!!!
 Luckily we were high and dry and all of these kiddo's had a blast playing together!



 These kiddo's also loved playing together on their day off!
 I know that Jaden LOVED the extra Daddy time he got!
We are very glad that the storm was very minor for us, but we are always mindful of those that didn't fare so well.  Please keep Louisiana and Mississippi in your prayers!
