Lights out!

After three days of winter weather, it all landed in one big finale… No power. On the first day we got about 1 inch of snow. On day 2, Friday, we got about 4 inches of snow and then ice fell. On day three, which was Saturday, we got more freezing rain but damage was done. Trees were falling and our power went out around 8:30 am. 


With the power out, we decided to take Maysen, Griffin, and Hunter to the new Lego movie. It was really funny. By then we had decided that the power was likely going to be out all day so the decision was made that we would go day warm at a hotel. Growing up in Kansas one of my fondest memories was getting to go stay "at the Hilton" on a snowy Saturday when my dad had off work. I can still remember the smell of the chlorine from the indoor pool. We returned home after the movie to see that the power was indeed still off, so we packed our bags and headed back to Eugene to stay "at the Hilton". 





We learned this morning when we woke up that the power had come back on in the middle of the night. We packed back up with our dogs and came home. On our way home we could see what was the problem!!
