Earthquakes an Highchair

Today we got our first highchair and experienced our first earthquake. We were just minding our own business hanging out, crawling along the kitchen floor when suddenly I felt the ground move. It took me a minute to realize what was going on, but then I remembered that we are in California and it dawned on me that it was an earthquake. I ran for Quinn, snatched him off the kitchen floor, ran under the shaking dining room light, hopped over the nervous dog and went outside where I watched my car wobble for several more seconds. That's when it occured to me that I had no idea what you were supposed to do during an earthquake, but when I noticed the neighbors also in their front yards I figured I had made a good choice. I was pretty stunned by the experience, but eventually went back inside to the terrified dog, who I had to coax out from behind a chair. Jeff has assured me that this is not a normal occurrence. I hope not...because if so I'm headed back to NC! :)

Quinny didn't even seem to notice that anything was amiss! Here he is enjoying his new/used highchair. Thanks Mom!!
