We were able to go back to Virginia Beach for a week at the end of August to visit my family……and be visited by Hurricane Irene at the same time. We had a great day at the beach on Friday, as Irene was moving up the U.S. coast. The kids loved the sand and Matt especially loved running into the ocean. Saturday, Irene came to visit. It was mostly just rain and some intense wind. At one point during the Hurricane, Josh was sitting in a camping chair on the front porch holding a sleeping Matt. (We had lost power by that point and it was hot and humid!) It was also my mom’s 60th birthday that day. We had lots of family there and it was fun to celebrate that milestone all together!
We also went to the Norfolk Zoo (after hubbies had to fly home for work and after Irene had passed on by). The kids loved all the animals and Emma was really fascinated with the giraffes and elephants.
It was a really cool zoo. The animals were in habitats with other species, kind of like they would be in nature. 
It was so great to see Angel, Donnovan, Jazzy, Betty and Brenda. We had a lot of fun playing rook…even when our lives were on the line during Irene (jk) . Like always, we ate like kings and queens while we were there. Southerners sure now how to cook!Thanks Nana and Papa for a GREAT visit and a super FUN time. We love and miss you everyday!

cool! Didn't know you were in the hurricane too! I would say, if we knew you were here we would have visited you! But traveling during that storm would have been crazy! (We live in MD)
I hope we get to see you in November when we visit UT!
