Tornadoes are better than Hurricanes
We had tornado warnings last week and lots of wind and rain. Unlike hurricane Ike we had no storm damage and our power stayed on. We did have a front lawn full of "spikey bombs" (so-named by our 10-year old neighbor) from our Sweet Gum tree. Cadie helped me rake the bombs up. They were not nearly as fun as leaves to jump in though.

Plenty of spikey bombs still left on the tree.

We met up with friends at the Columbus Science Museum and stayed in the water area for a while. I think she is a hydrologist in the making. I love that they provide rain coats but next time I'm bringing water shoes and an extra pair of socks.

Snow/Ice Day
We had a snow day last week for about 9 inches of snow and a lot of ice. Eric said he was more excited as an instructor than he was as a student to have a day off. We went on a skiing adventure around the neighborhood. I've become soft and cold-averse and so I was happy when most of it melted yesterday. Here are some pictures...
