Meet The Shonk/Cooper Family....

Thankfully the weather held out for us on Sunday and everyone headed over to Thompson Park in Jamesburg for a Family Photo Session....

The Entire Shonk/Cooper Family


The Grandparents with all of their Grandkids

The Cooper Girls with Grammy and Grampy

Miss Clara wasn't cooperating in Grampy's arms - she was more interested in getting her feet then looking at the camera.

Hurricane Irene - Our Weekend Adventure (August 27th & 28th 2011)

Here are some pictures from Hurricane Irene.  We spent the weekend camped out at my in-laws house because we lost power around 12:30am Saturday night.  In between the rain I grabbed my daughter and the dog..packed them into the car and headed over to the in-laws 3 blocks away who still had power.

By 4:30am I was finally able to fall asleep and was woken every 15 min or so by the firetrucks pulling in and out of the firehouse (which is right across the street from the in-laws house).  Needless to say I didn't sleep much Saturday night.

In the morning after it stopped raining we ventured out of the house to see what the damage looked like around town.  At this point the flooding hadn't really started yet - the only way out of town was Rte 287.

This is what the Queens Bridge looked like around 11am on Sunday 8/28

This is the Queens Bridge about 2 hours later

The Queens Bridge around 4pm on Sunday 8/28
At this point the only way out of town was taking Elizabeth Ave to Amwell
and hoping that whichever way you needed to go wasn't flooded also

Do you think it was windy out?  This picture cracks me up.

The poor house on the right was completely surrounded by water :(
