Started out great. The rented house was great; huge! Deer all over the place, by a lake, etc.
So we got settled Friday afternoon, scrapped Friday night...slept really well. Saturday morning, up and raring to scrap all day. We sit down to start, an old man comes to the door, say she 's a neighbor and lets us know the road is washed out on one side of us an flooded on the other!!
If we want to go, we need to go soon. So some girls start to panick...some go out to see, come back and say we have 1 hour to pack and get out of here. Well it had taken us 2 HOURS to unpack!! 10 minutes later we're all packed, but some girls who had left come back and say we can't go, it's blocked. Anyways, some of us decide to go out and see. Turns out a local is driving through it no problem, but he says it's only getting worse and you may not be able to get out tomorrow. So since we were already all packed we decide to make a run for it. The guy leads us out (btw, there are still really nice, helpful people out there...Merci Denis!) and we make it.
Half of the girls stayed and waited for the police to escort them out. I think they're still there...
needless to say, we're kind of pissed. So we decide to go to my house and scrap. Everyone stayed till late last night and a few came back today. If you're a mother, you will know that once you are in town...it's really hard to get away from the husband and kids...that's why we had to go in the middle of nowhere to start with!!
We ended up having a nice weekend anyways but not nearly as relaxing as we had hoped...we will surely be planning another one for the fall...there is no thaw in the fall...
