Another storm

We had a big storm come through our neighbourhood yesterday afternoon right after I got home with Ben. We were just walking out the door to go to the park and the wind came whipping down the opposite street, bringing large amounts of trash with it. We just closed the garage door & went back inside. Our power was off for about 6 hours, the kids just can't stand it when the power is out. Maggie goes around switching all the light switched on and off, she just can't understand it. Luckily, everything in the fridges and freezers should be safe and we even 'had' to go out and eat dinner!!!! Ben & I did go up to the park eventually and walked around the lake. There were a lot of trees down in the neighbourhood, one just missed the house down the road from us and another was right across our street so we can only get out one way right now. Ben and I spent the afternoon searching for Canada Goose feathers, he uses them to write with-must have been watching too much Harry Potter (can you ever really watch too much Harry Potter???!!!)
