Thursday before Hurricane IKE hit, Jaden and I drove up to Carrollton, TX to stay with John's Aunt Kathi & Uncle Lonnie. Once John saw the trees blowing around and our power flickering Friday evening, he decided to join us and made it in around midnight with the cats in tow! We were so glad to see him and relieved that he didn't try to stick it out at home.
We're very thankful that we're all o.k. and that our house is still intact.
Entertaining a toddler away from home is a challenge but Aunt Kathi told us about "Going Bonkers". It's an indoor play land with video games, whack the mole, a sports car and jeep to drive/ride and big structures to climb up and slide down and around. It was great! We hung out at Bonkers on Friday before John got in town and then convinced him to go with us again on Saturday. =]
Sunday after the storm we drove on up to Tulsa, OK to stay with my parents for the week. Then stopped in McKinney, TX on our way back home. Here are some pics from our travels.

It was great seeing our family and friends in Carrollton, Tulsa & McKinney. Thanks to everyone for their help during this stressful time. We love you all.
