Our mini vacation from Hurricane Ike

We enjoyed a mini vacation from Hurricane Ike. Ok, it wasn't planned but we tried to make the best of the situation. It seemed like we drove across Texas in a car with three adults, a baby and 2 dogs but we made it and finally have power restored to our house on Friday morning--yeah! Today we got our internet connection back as the tree that fell over ripped our internet cable in half but they were quick to fix it. Now I just have to stock our fridge again and I think we will be fully back to normal. Thanks to everyone who let us stay with them!
Haley started gymnastics on Saturday and had a blast! She's not into following the group yet but she will get there. She was the youngest in her group but had no problems keeping up with the other kids. Next week Daddy is going to come too! And it turns out I knew 2 of the adults in her group from my high school/early college days - small world.
I'll post more pics later in the week from our trip to the Aquarium (Pre-Ike)!
