Yesterday was a school adventure for our 3 kiddos. Caleb had his first experience with a fire drill, except not for practice. One of the light bulbs in the computer lab burnt out and caused enough smoke to set off the alarms. The whole school had to evacuate while the firemen walked through the halls to clear the smoke and okay the children back in. It was a little exciting he said and lasted about an hour.
About an hour later, a big storm blew through Kansas City. Jonathan and I were caught in some of the heavy rain as we left Gordman's and we thought we heard the tornado sirens going off near that area but weren't sure. When Joshua and Ashlyn came home, they said that they had to take precautions for a tornado because the sirens went off near their school. This meant that they were either in the bathrooms or classroom closet with the rest of their class in the tornado position (head on floor and rolled up in a ball)...it was an adventure for them too. When Caleb got off the bus, he said because the sirens were close enough to their school (different counties, but right on the county line), they followed a similar procedure and had to line up in the halls with their heads on the floor. Caleb didn't like this as well as the smoke and fire alarms...either way, the first Friday of the year will be remembered as emergency preparation day for all 3! Now we pray that this tornado season will bring only drills going forward (for fires too)!
