Monday started out the wild weather for the week with some hail. Then Wednesday and Thursday we prepared for some massive rain. Wednesday it was extremely windy and we got a fair amount of rain. They were predicting a high as seven inches of rain for the day but thankfully that turned out wrong, we got about 2.5". But the winds were no joke. It was shocking that we kept power and internet going all day, but thankfully we did. Mason's teacher kept loosing power which was making it really hard for him to teach and the principal had to help keep things rolling.
On Thursday Taz decided that he couldn't spend another day cooped up in his dog house all day like he did on Wednesday so he sat right outside in our view to make sure we knew he was there and getting wet. So he basically did the same thing but got wet... We ended up getting a lot more rain that was consistent all day with a total of about 4.5" for the day.
On Friday Anna had some visitors for her birthday (including a sign from her Grandma and Grandpa Arnold in the front yard), and a few more on Saturday. Although having a fun 13th birthday party would have been great, she is keeping a positive attitude and joining the long line of people who also were stuck with quarantine birthdays.
On Saturday the sun was out. It wasn't hot but felt good! Anna was able to go for a ride (a nice treat for her birthday weekend) and Olivier was still able to attend jiu jitsu in the parking lot. And his hard work is paying off! He got his first stripe on his grey belt! We are proud of him, and thankful for the instructors who have done so much to keep thing rolling in these crazy times.
