Earth Shattering!

We experienced a major earthquake here last night, folks. It was a 5.6 magnitude, but we are all fine! Captain X thought it was great fun and wanted more (he settled for jumping on the rocking chair and agressively rocking back & forth, though). His mom was freaked out a bit and was still shaking a good while afterwards. Nothing was broken, but things did move and fall from the usual spots: tables and shelves. This tremor has given us a good kick-in-the-pants motivation to update our earthquake preparedness bag and get one ready for Captain X. Every superhero must be ready!

We're all fine, though we had another aftershock the day after and nothing since. Phew! Close call!

We'll post more pictures of Captain X's Halloween experience soon!
