Should Have Stayed Home

What a weekend.  Ugh.  We had to be home Sunday for a party so it really didn't make a ton of sense to go to the shore but there are only 4 weekends left so we went anyway.  Plus our cousins were in from LA and we wanted to see them and we had dinner plans for Saturday night.  Ariel had not been herself all day, that should have been the first clue that we should have stayed home.  When we tried to put her in bed that night, she started screaming and did not stop.  At 3 am we took her to Shore Memorial Hospital.  Turns out she had a virus which gave her sores in her mouth and that's why she was upset.  Tylenol helped.  Ariel was much better Saturday but Amy had a bad cold and was uncomfortable.  Here are some shots from Saturday morning.  Because of the virus, we didn't end up seeing my cousins.  

 We made a brief trip to the playground.  

 Spoiled dog!

 The clouds were building.

 The sky is looking scary, time to get home.

 The torrential downpours started shortly after 12 and lasted hours. The streets quickly flooded.  Then there was a loud bang and a flash and the power went out and did not return till after 8 pm.  

 We watched from the garage.

 When cars went by there were waves.

 There wasn't much to do.

 Ariel much prefers to go after things that aren't her toys like a mirror...

 or maybe blinds.  The storm will continue on Tuesday...
