After an uneventful drive, the family is settling into life here in North Manchester. Sunday was spent unpacking the kitchen and getting clothes sorted so the kids could be registered for school on Monday.
Starting school on Tuesday was a fun send off as the bus stop is just outside our back door. The bus drivers talked and sorted out one route so both kids are picked up by the same bus. Gotta love small town features.
If you saw the news reports, Tuesday was not a typical day for the kids. About 10am we heard a siren for the tornado warning but didn't really think much of it. We did get nailed with a lot of wind and rain. In fact the trailer, we brought the first round of boxes and furniture out in, was blown off the parking pad and into the street. It wasn't in traffic so we waited to move it back. Near 11:30 the siren sounded again as the storm settled down.Mom and DH headed into Wabash to run some errands and found out the Walmart lost part of the roof, power was out for many in the area.
MM and LB had a bigger impression of the storm. At separate schools their respective classes were sent into the safety shelters during the tornado alert. For each class their bathrooms were the safety shelters so MM was entertained that the boys were uncomfortable and LB that the girls in his class were uncomfortable. For them this was just the adventure to start their times at their new school.
I'm sure we will each have more adventures as we begin life in our small town America....

First days of school are usually memorable anyway, but the kids will have a real keeper for theirs!
Glad the trip was uneventful.
That is one memorable first day! I looked up your new town on Wikipedia and it is about the same size as the town where I live. There are a lot of nice things about small towns. And I'm sure you'll find some annoying things.
