We had intensions of heading back today, but after further
discussion it just made sense for us to stick around… what’s one more day. With the temperatures the way they are
and not knowing for sure if we had power, made the decision pretty easy. The Beavers were also in support of our
decision being that it meant more baby time. Haha. With our
extra day, we decided to go visit the new addition to the Caraway family,
Easton Lee. We got the tour of
their awesome new house and let the babies mix it up for a bit. It was pretty crazy to see all the
little guys together. The scene
was a bit different from the old college days.

This morning we confirmed that our power was back on and
pealed out around 9:00 am (This is Toni Time so it was actually around
9:50). We were loaded down with
fresh veggies from the Beaver garden and plenty of venison from Caraway’s
hunting stash. We took a break
around half way to feed the babies and fuel up. Again, it was a pretty smooth trip. The rest of the afternoon was not so
smooth. When we arrived, we were
greeted by a yard full of branches and pinecones. The tree that had been resting on the power line pole next
to our house had snapped in half and was just wait for a breeze to finish it
off and knock the power out again.
The thermostat read 95 degrees when we got in the house so
we flipped on the air and headed to run some errands. First stop… Wok’n Fire! We ordered some sushi and fed the babies. Once everyone had their fill, it was
off to the library. Brenden and
Jackson did not do a very good job of following the rules. I guess they must have missed the QUIET
signs on the way in. The house
still wasn’t quite there so we decided to push it and try a trip to the grocery
store… bad decision. They were
absolutely out of their minds by this point. I can’t help but wonder what some of the people in the
grocery store thought. The babies
were much better when we got home.
Once mom got the babies settled down, I started the long
process of cleaning out and replacing the entire refrigerator full of bad food
from the power outage. Later that
night we visited Chuck and Jan Anderson.
Thankfully, Jan had saved Toni’s breast milk that was in the freezer
from the heat. It really sucked to
throw out all that food but we definitely saved the important stuff.
