Mom called Friday night and was worried about us being in the trailer is the hurricanes was still as strong as everyone was saying it would be.  So, Saturday we went over to their house around noon and hung out until around 8pm.  We ate lunch and dinner with them and in between we watched Meet the Robinsons, Burn Notice and Tremors 4.  and made ( Read more... )
