thursday night we had quite the little adventure! we heard about the tsunami coming from the 8.9 earthquake in japan and all started to kinda freak out. this was closer than the one in chile last year; it would probably cause more damage. we didn't know what to expect. we all packed a bag with some clothes, food, and a couple things we couldn't stand to lose. our house is up pretty high, and we're on the third floor, so everything should have been just fine. but we didn't want to take any chances. so in the case that we couldn't come home for a few days, we cleaned the house, locked all the windows and doors, and headed for the hills. literally. we went up to this mountainous area a few minutes away. we left at midnight and stayed there til 4:30am, listening to updates on the radio.
our window didn't have a lock on it. so someone had the idea that we had to stuff it with books so that no one could break in. we're on the second floor, and there's nothing below our window for someone to climb on.. better to be safe than sorry, right?
as soon as we heard we had to evacuate, asia decided to make pancakes. we thought it was a weird idea, but they turned out to be a great snack in the car!
kristal and caitie.
sharee, me, and asia.
i spilled syrup all over myself. so did cait.
stupid syrup bottle shoots out at you!
the next morning we made some more pancakes. this time we got a little creative: we call them tsunami cakes! they were quite delicious. some had blueberries in them, some had spiced apples.. yum :)
the wall on our balcony between our side and the left side got blown down!? makes it wayy easier to visit the girls over there!
it was all kind of scary cause we didn't know what to expect, but our little town was safe and sound. hawaii didn't get hit too hard at all, thank goodness.
our hearts go out to those in japan, though. <3
I'm so glad your safe!! I was thinking about you when I heard it was supposed to hit hawaii! I miss you!
