Sunny Day to Stormy Night

Yesterday, we had a fun day at Jason's parents' house. The men were busy working on several of our vehicles, while us girls relaxed outside in the sun. Macey was quite hesitant about going in the pool at first. (kiddie pool, filled with warm water, and only a few inches deep at first) But once we got her in, we couldn't get her out. Kelsey loved the water which was no surprise to me since she has liked her baths for quite some time. It was so relaxing to her, she fell asleep while floating in her little boat.
Around 8:30 last night we lost power. Both girls were sleeping so Jason and I watched the storms roll in until around 9:00 and decided it was time to go to bed since it got so dark. The power turned back on around 9:30 and about a minute later we heard the tornado sirens sounding. We quick turned the tv on and noticed that there could be possible rotation in the skies near us so we waited a bit. I went downstairs and got the bathroom (safest room down there with no windows) all ready just in case. When I got upstairs, Jason was grabbing Macey so I grabbed Kelsey and downstairs we headed. It suddenly became SO windy! I huddled with the girls in blankets and pillows while we watched tv in the bathroom. Kelsey fell right back to sleep and Macey curled up next to me while we watched the news. We stayed down there for about 45 minutes. The storm was neverending. We are thankful we live on sandy grounds with no big trees near us, so no damage has been done. Overall, it was quite the experience.
