Dolly Update

The storm has passed and we are happy to report--no damage! The only thing we received was a lot of rain and a bit of wind, never getting over 35 mph. I think they had some damage in town, flooding and trees down, but we're enough off the coast we dodged that.
The boys were really excited about the hurricane potential. During a tornado warning (we're still under a watch as I type this), I built a "bat cave" with our mattress and blankets, stocked with goodies, water, flashlights etc.. After the warning was lifted we came out and the boys immediately destroyed it. Any future warnings, I decided, would be spent in the closet or bathtub, no more "bat cave" building for me! Here's a couple of pics of H&N checking out the rain yesterday morning... Oh, and FYI, Nelson picked out their special hurricane outfits for the day!

I think those outfits are exactly the way "real" hurricane tracker people should wear. The boys looked perfect. Tell them their Nana won a gold medal in the Wyoming State Senior Olympic golf tournament.
