We got about a foot or more of snow Friday night and Saturday making the roads bad for driving. But, for those who are looking for a good time, it was the perfect weather for sledding! We took advantage of our day off of work and got in some good family time making great memories. After Kaden’s first trip down the hill he had enough and was content to sit at the top watching the action. Chesley couldn’t get enough of the steep hill, often crashing at the bottom only to come back up the hill with a smile saying, “Let’s do it again!”

We had a crazy weekend!

Friday afternoon a severe thunderstorm rolled through Michigan knocking out the power where Karl is employed. He spent part of his weekend trying to take care of power issues there at work.

On Saturday night another storm came through, this time knocking our power out. We decided to go stay with Mom and Dad Haynes till our power came back on.

On Sunday we emptied our fridge and freezer taking all the food over to Mom and Dad’s. I took these pictures as we drove through town. It was like a disaster zone, with so many trees down and damage done. We got to Mom and Dad’s place just as another storm came through knocking out their power. Mom and Dad have a generator, so Karl and his Dad soon got that hooked up.

On Monday evening we found out that our power was back on. We are now back at our place and thankful to be back to the familiar. Our Internet was just turned on a bit ago allowing me to make this post. Mom and Dad Haynes are still without power and are told it will not be back on till Thursday. (yuck!)

I was sitting inside when I happened to catch a glimpse of the sky out my window. I just had to run out and catch a few pictures!

It’s a warm day here in Michigan getting up to 62° F. We all put on our sunglasses and made a trip to the park. What a beautiful day!

We had a snow storm come through Michigan that had most of the schools in our area canceled for the day. So we decided to take advantage of the snow and go have some fun. As you can see, Chesley and Kaden had a great time playing for the short time we spent out in the cold.

Yesterday it was such a warm day so we got out for a walk around the block. Chesley rode his bike while I carried Kaden in the backpack carrier we have. It was a short walk but very enjoyable. Now I’m eager to get out again today!
