we're back! or rather, our internet service is. we survived the storm, which wasn't bad at all. in fact, the rule on sunday was "if you want to play in the hurricane, you have to wear your helmet". ten minutes in, kai was yelling frantically for me to come outside, and this is what i found::
a couple of comedians. owen didn't stop there though. he wanted to stage one where the force of tree limb impact had knocked his helmet off, which he believed would be more realistic, like so::

even though irene went left and we only caught the outer edge, there are a surprising amount of people here without power. we had our generator standing by but lucked out on that front. and the first day of school has been postponed until after labor day! party!!
