A couple weeks ago, we were hit by a crazy ice storm. Just about the entire county lost power at some point, and the local schools were closed for a week. Our house was one of the first to loose electricity. Luckily, it was also among the quickest to get it back. We escaped to Kylee's grandpa's house for a few hours to stay warm, and by that evening our power was back on. Just as ours came back, grandpa's went out. So, he and Tony came back to our house with us and stayed the night. The next day the Martin family (Tara, Shad, Ethan, and baby Hunter) and the Long family (Angie, Bob, Meadow, Lily, and baby Sage) joined us. Kylee was pretty excited about all the company. By that night all of our guests had power again and were able to return home. We were all very fortunate. Several families that we know were without power for over a week and a few even lost water for a day or two!

The ice did quite a # on the trees in town. So sad!
The ice was super thick! (photo courtesy of Vickie)
