Better Safe Than Sorry

Yesterday was Hannah's 8th birthday. Her parents picked her up from a wonderful week at the beach with Gina's aunt and uncle. We met them for dinner at Fuddruckers along with Brandon, Kellie, Steve, and Wesley. We made plans to take Hannah and Seamus to St. Michael's today. We even called ahead and found a dog friendly place to eat. This morning the weather reports all said that we were to have severe storms in the afternoon. The thought of being stuck in a severe storm and not being able to get inside because we had the dog with us was not what we had in mind. Also, we didn't want to be driving across the Bay Bridge in a storm, so we decided not to go. We picked up Hannah at 8, went to IHOP for breakfast, stopped at Target for a new Nintendo game and came home. Hannah played her game and we decided to make homemade potato salad, deviled eggs, and chicken for dinner. We did some sitting on the porch, playing checkers, fixing lunch, and began cooking dinner. No storm!! I still think we made the right decision given the facts we had, but Hannah was disappointed. Maybe we can go in the next couple of weeks. By the way, Hannah made the deviled eggs all by herself. She is a great cook!
