Gustav
Well Sunday night was a long night....Will woke me up about midnight to show me the water was about ten feet from the stairs that led up to our house! That was a little scary! Although it was nothing to worry about...our house is about 20 feet off the ground...it is still a little freaky!
After waking up my parents and watching the news we all went back to bed...except Will. He stayed up all night monitoring Gustav.
Monday morning the waves were huge! I have never seen anything like it. It rained off and on all day and we were under more than one tornado warning.
Needless to say we were housebound all day! We did our best to keep the boys busy and keep the adults from going crazy. We ran the hallway down stairs to burn off energy. Once everyone woke up from their naps the weather had cleared up and the sun was out....YEAH!!
We got dressed and headed out for an early dinner. We originally planned to go to Bayou Bill's for fried shrimp....but when we arrived the restaurant was gone.....as in leveled! Plan B....we went to a seafood restaurant that we passed a few miles back....this was actually a must better choice! We had our own private room....I think they took one look at our group and did not want us to scare the other diners away. The food was wonderful and the kids were great! After dinner we walked around the shopping center to burn off some energy.
The shopping center had a grassy area in the center and some fountains that the boys ran through. William of course had to stand over one of the fountains and it shot up and got him soaking wet...after we realized everything was ok we couldn't stop laughing. We all had a great time!
