First Birthday:

I worked at the flower shop in the morning.  It drizzled some but then it cleared up.  I'm thinking, good, we'll have a nice day for the birthday party.  The sun had come out and it was beautiful outside.
We had three canopies set up for shade.   Everyone had just filled their plates and were happily eating away.  We could see the storm across the river but thought it would blow over.  Blow over, it did!  All of a sudden the wind started in and it started raining.  It blew one canopy over.  The guys tried holding down the other two but it was no use, the wind was winning.  A lot of us headed into the camper.  The camper had an awning on the front and the guys were trying to hold it steady.  It looked like something out of a storm on the sea.  I don't get scared in storms, but I definitely was scared that day.  Cash kept saying, I'm scared.  We all assured him everything was fine as we felt threatened with the camper rocking and swaying.  Quite the storm.  I had wanted to get a picture of the area after the storm to show how bad it was but Todd had already started to clean up.









 
We brought the babies home with us so Todd and Michelle could clean up.  They had a lot to pack up and take back to their house.  The boys did really well.  They're pretty easy to watch.
 
I am grateful for God watching out for us in this storm as we had no where to go.  Both Todd and Michelle saw a funnel cloud coming in from the west.
