What a day in capital city, with craziness abound as Ottawa got mildly rocked by an earthquake that hit 5+ on the Richter scale! Mom and Dad were hard at work when the buildings shook for about 20 seconds, followed by building evacuations en masse all over the city. Cell phone service was out as pretty much everyone was calling everyone else to see if they were ok, which they were as damage was minimal across the city. Seems the epicentre was about 50km outside Ottawa but we felt enough to send a little scare through everyone's hearts! Back at home, it was just another weekday afternoon as Oliver snoozed his way through the excitement and Isabelle played on as if nothing was going on. Nanny Caitlin asked her if she felt the house shake and Isabelle said "Yes, and I looked outside and I saw it!". What she saw is still a mystery, but now that she has been taught what an earthquake is, she says it was a crack in the ground that she saw. Nothing like a young imagination. Anyway, all is well, everyone is safe and as for Isabelle, she's excited for it to happen again tomorrow. That makes one of us!
