More Pics of the ice storm.

Ice






Hello, from a crazy week in Kansas!! Tuesday a huge ice storm hit Kansas covering our homes, trees, and neighborhoods with ice. Thankfully, we have had power most of the time with the exception of about 12 hours. We have not had school for the last 4 days. My parents and my sister Beccy and her family have been without power since early Tuesday morning and it doesn't sound like they will be getting it anytime soon. My dad and mom have a generator, but it has quit working, soooo......They along with Beccy and her husband and 2 kids have been staying with us the last few days. Thankfully the kids are getting along, most of the time, and we aren't driving each other crazy! Kyle was happy to have the excuse to go and get a new "man tool!" The pictures are of him, my dad, and our neighbor trying to clean up and trim some branches before more fell on the roof. Others are just of the neighborhood and the numerous limbs we lost. I think we will have to cut two of our trees down when it's all said and done, but we are so thankful to have power and that none of them did any real damage to our house. My sister and parents also had several limbs down in there yards. We have had to move things back and forth and try to salvage as much food from their freezers as we can. We are suppose to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, but at least it is not ice!!! Keeping our fingers crossed no more power outages. Til next time! Stay safe and warm!
