We woke up late Saturday morning to howling winds outside. I took a quick trip to the bathroom before I decided to make breakfast. As I was sitting there the lights went out...good thing I was just going pee! The first thing that went through my mind was 'Oh man did we forget to pay our electricity bill??' my next thought was maybe it was just Josh fooling around with the power, but quickly realized that my husband has no handy bone in his body, so I knew that we just lost power.
We made plans that day to attend Ryan's birthday party. I spoke with Merrie that morning and it looked like the power was still on and they still had power. Brandon was super worried that the party was cancelled, but I assured him that it was still on...
On the way to the party I get a text from Merrie saying that they had just lost power. The party was scheduled to start in 30 minutes! Thankfully Ryan's birthday was baseball themed so most of the food were being prepared on the grill and the weather was on our side, so it was easy to move the party outside!
The kids had a blast playing outside and halfway through the party the kids got a big surprise. A fire truck pulled up to the cul-de-sac! I guess one of the neighbors called because they were worried about one of the trees falling over. The firefighters were kind enough to let the kids sit in the truck and handed out hats for the kids to keep. It was awesome! Talk about epic party! Brandon still talks about that fire truck! Happy birthday, Ryan and thank you for the amazing party!
