The ice storm we had the first week of January 2005 was one to remember. Many parts of the city of Wichita and almost all of the surrounding area were without power for close to a week.

I worried that little Kaci, 2 1/2 years old but wearing pajamas in size 6 - 9 months, would be too cold even with a fire and bundled up sleeping bags. I was relieved to get a hotel room with electricity for several days until the power returned.

The photo opportunities were great once the sun returned and began melting the thick ice.
