Just thought it might be neat to post some photos of the ice storm that I had taken, sorry they are a little late, but i thought they might still be interesting to look at.
This is Aaron and Cassie enjoying some time off from school and Marlene's, due to there being no power. But thanks to Randall and Pete and the farm too of course, we were able to use a generator for a few days. Thanks guys, it meant a lot. Thanks too to Elisabeth for taking us in when our house was soo cold and feeding as well! :)
Marten was out playing too!
We decided to go for a drive on one of the days there was no power, just checking out what the rest of the neighbourhood looked like, this is the turn just before Kevin Downe's place, it was almost eerie looking as we drove through.
Things are quite back to normal now. Back to work and school and Marlene's. We sure enjoyed our extra family time. It's nice to not have the electricity sometimes and be forced back into boardgames and card games by candlelight! Good times.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Great photos Tineke. Nice composition. I know what you mean about the 'eerie' look to everything. Well, not everything... hee, hee. Marten looks pretty cute. :)
We also played boardgames and such. It's a good reminder to shut off those computers and tvs and do that. It was fun.
You know I love you guys lots, Karen
nice pictures! Its so fun to see everyone's pictures from the storm. Glad you guys enjoyed the time together and got to play some games. Have a super weekend. Love Amanda
That was a wonderful picture show. It brought back some, not too faded, memories.
It sure brings people together. And you appreciate the little things, like being able to turn on whatever you want, whenever you need it. It was good to get all the fans going after the outage.
That is one thing we cannot do with the generator. Glad we could help.
Love, Randall
All these pictures on everyone's blogs are great! I think I should take some pics sometimes soon. I keep forgetting that most of you guys haven't been here. I'm such a bad tourist :P I think Isaac and I are going out tonight so I should charge up my batteries and see what sort of photo ops present themselves :)
The one thing I always loved about power outages was the games and chats by candle light. I'm glad you guys had a good time taking advantage of that.
Love you!
