My daughter was singing Rain Rain Go Away Come Again Some Other Day all morning as she laughed and splashed in the rain... soaking wet... no ash to be seen, no fires to worry about.

Our home was pulled off the evacuation list at 7am this morning. I hear the air quality is horrendous and the kids beds are covered in ash (how does this get in the house even with all the windows closed). Everyone is saying the air quality won't be better until Sunday or Monday. I'm glad we left the state... but I still can't decompress. I feel so much stress. It's like the world was ripped in half and I have to figure out how to put it together but, really, all I had to do was pack pictures and drive for hours.

Seattle is cold and rainy. Who can complain about that right now? I hear tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful up here. I am hoping to take the kids to the Nintendo store visitor center tomorrow.
