Lately, we've been cleaning the secret lair (a.k.a.-basement) so we are ready for more tornado warnings and/or tornadoes. For some strange reason we've been feeling a really strong need to work on our 72-hour emergency kits and food storage. My sister and I brainstormed what to put in the kits and food storage over the phone. She had a lot of great ideas and SuperDad and I have decided to buy at least on item on our lists each time we go to the store. If anyone has any suggestions on food storage please let us know.
Saturday we went to the Cultural Festival here in town. It was really fun, but we were disappointed that not more people showed up. When we got there a group called the Israeli Celebration Dancers were performing. Monkey and I went out and danced with them a few times. They showed us how to Kibbutz and everything. We only got SuperDad out once to dance with us, while I danced holding Bear.
It was ridiculously hot out and humid and we were shocked to see an 80 year-old woman and an at least 8 month along pregnant lady in the dance group. They were both keeping up with the best of them. There was also a man there with a Green Bay Packers yarmulke. Go Packers!!

We then went inside to the air conditioning and tasted food from countries like Greece, Ethiopia, Bosnia, Mexico, etc. One man was brave enough to take on an entire continent and had a table display for Africa. It was really fun to learn about all those different countries and taste the yummy (free) food! Bear really liked the Greek spinakopata (we're not sure how to spell that), a spinach and feta cheese filled pastry.
Speaking of the heat, on Sunday we reached 97 degrees F. It may not seem like much for those of you in Arizona and other 'dry' states, but once the humidity factor was accounted for the heat index reached 118 F! Needless to say, we did not go outside much.
Later that night we went to visit with the Super Schloemer's. They put on a very delicious shrimp boil. We also met a great new SuperFamily that just moved here from Idaho (not to be confused with Ohio or Iowa). Good eats and good friends, what could be better?!
Stay tuned for more advertures of the Iowagners!!!

One of my New Years resolutions, every year, is to have the 72 hour kits up and ready...hasn't happened yet. Food storage, if an item is on sale I buy a few extras. I started by spendind about $10.00 every 2 weeks. I builds up fast, and makes feel empowered. Also, I only store things that we will actually eat, no fake meat products!
