5.6

ok....

So, we have been living in the bay area for over 3 years now, and have never experienced an earthquake.....that is until last night!
to my friends who live here and also who may be from here...don't make fun of me :O).....
BUT IT WAS REALLLLLY SCARY!!!!!!!!!!
Aaron tutors a boy, and we had gone to visit the family....I'd never met them before and he's been tutoring him since we moved here.
Anyway, oliver was playing with this Fancy BRIO train set, Eliza was crying because we don't know why (maybe instincts now that I think about it), and aaron had started tutoring the boy in some far off room because they live in a MANSION!!!!!!
All of a sudden everything just started shaking, and most noticeable was this Major rumbling under my feet....I panicked and said, "Oh my gosh, this is an Earthquake"...I was holding eliza and quickly swept oliver into my arms, and ran to another room in hopes to find aaron looking for us.....
by that time, the ground stopped rumbling, and we all were just quiet but still "shaken up".
Anyway....everything was ok, it was just a very very petrifying few moments.
Honestly, the scariest part was that I was positive that the rumbling under my feet was going to escalate and become really dangerous....that did not happen and I am very grateful.
Anyway,
just thought I'd share with you the excitement of our first and 5.6 earthquake!!!!
