We survived the Hurricane!

It started out as a typical day at the Garrett household. Emily suggested we take a trip to the mall for some window shopping. So, thinking that was a harmless activity, we decided to give it a go! Little did we know, but we would encounter the great Post Oak Hurricane of 2011. After window shopping, walking, and snacking on pretzels and smoothies we were headed back to Bealls so we could exit the mall. Just as we were approaching Bealls we encountered a small, contained, but VERY strong hurricane. Because the kids were looking for a little adventure, and because they were under the influence of the peer pressure of Jamie Manning, they decided to take on the hurricane whole heartedly. And well, maybe I shouldn't refer to it as PEER pressure as I am not sure that you can consider Jamie a PEER seeing as she is an adult...but either way...the fact that she has survived the very same hurricane...as well as many others like it across America made the temptation too strong to resist. The kids also wanted to be hurricane survivors and accepted the challenge! Luckily, they all survived...and they brought joy to the lives of the innocent bystanders, as well as the security guard! And we all know those security guards need a little action to keep their day from being so boring...its not like Post Oak Mall is the type of place where you see any serious mall cop action going down!!! Here are the pictures from the Great Post Oak Hurricane of 2011...
