Seattle was hammered by a bad snow and ice storm this winter. Usually snow doesn't really phase me, but here it doesn't happen very often, so they are totally unequipped to handle it. Add to that the fact that we live on a really steep hill with millions of trees and we had a small disaster. Our road was closed and our power went out....power outages in the winter stink! We tried to keep warm by running our gas fireplaces, but we were just hanging on to 60 degrees. After one night roughing it, we went to stay with the Millerburg family. They still had power and only live a mile away.
The next night, the Maner family came to stay with the Millerburgs too. Then things turned into a party! We stayed up late playing games, ate yummy food, and had a regular stay-cation.
The men all worked from "home" in Spencer's office.
The kids all played together and thought it was the best thing ever. We even planned little relay races for them.
The snow and ice stopped early enough for us to still make our flight to Disneyworld and our power even came back on before we had to leave.
It reminded me of the last time we went to Disneyworld....the airport was closed in Houston because we'd just suffered a hurricane. Our trip was delayed 1 day, but our power came on right before we got home from our trip. Coincidence? I'll let you decide!
