Ice around town

You couldn't even see through a chain link fence because of the ice...












broken trees at the high school...


power lines and poles were down everywhere
















Ice Storm 09

These are some pictures from around our house after the ice storm. We were only without power for 3 days, unfortunately some families had no power for over 3 weeks. We were very lucky to get it back on so soon.

This is our neighbors house across the street. We usually can see it easily.


Lucas's basketball goal

the back of our house...

Les's truck after we got it in the garage. The power went off when we were on the way home, so the garage door wouldn't open and his truck sat out all night as it iced. The next day we figured out how to open it manually and got his truck inside.

Rocky walked to the edge of the porch and decided there was to much ice to go down the steps...




and decided to just pee on his chain right there!

KY Dam Marina

These pictures were taken on the last four day when Les came home to visit. We rented a pontoon boat and rode around on the lake for hours. It was so much fun and so relaxing and a beautiful day to be on the lake. We will definately be doing this again!















chillin on the lake


Here's Les relaxing while Nathan drove the boat.

So, I figure if I never get my house on the beach, one of these on the lake will do...


Nathan was the only one brave enough to jump in the water...and it was cold:)
