Evacuating can be fun...

Our little trip to evacuate turned out to be a fun weekend at my brothers in Dallas. The kids had fun and we got to visit with my nieces and nephews. On very short notice they let us join in on their Labor Day fun. My brother Carl, grilled out by the pool and we all enjoyed visiting out by the pool and also in the air conditioning. We were only away two nights and were happy to return home quickly to no hurricane. Our prayers go out to all who were in Hurricane Gustav path. We miss our son Tyler, who is on hurricane duty with his unit. We are hoping he returns home soon. He is not shown in the pictures of the weekend and we missed having him with us. Annabel's days were good but her nights were hard. I don't think she does well in hotel rooms, maybe just airborn allergies. It was a lot of time sitting in her carseat while we were driving. We are thankful that the hurricane didn't come and will be praying that the rest of the season is calm. Again, to my brother and sister in law, Paula and their sweet family a big Thank You!
