TS Fay

So we got hit with a Tropical Storm last week so Joe and Dad got the day off. We had a pretty good day in all Joe got some play time with the kids and I got to take a nap...YEAH!!!! Caden and Casey slept great because the shutters were up so their rooms were really dark and the storm pretty much hit at around 5a.m. so they weren't scared at all. We never lost power completely just had the lights flicker for a few hours which was great. We have a great big lake in both the front and the back yard now...well now they are slowly drying up but the back still floods when it rains in the afternoon. I got some pictures of the fire ants that were floating around the water. If you aren't from FL and haven't seen it before it is pretty cool how they survive flooding. They use the bodies of the dead ants as a sort of raft for all the living ants and they all float on the top of the water. You definetly don't want to run into them in the water though because they will be up you sooooo fast. Here are some pics of what we did during the storm and what the storm left behind along with some pics from a few days before the storm arrived.
