Twister!

From the title of this post you might have expected to see pictures of people bent over a plastic game board with their hands and feet on different colored dots. Sorry to disappoint.

While Papa Steve was visiting with us we had some brief but exciting weather. Jarod and his dad barely made it home before the rain started. The sky was very ominous, and as it turned out, full of tornado activity. There were three reported tornadoes, and plenty of hail. Luckily my car was still being repaired from the last hail storm so it wasn't subjected to more dents. Mama Tess had sent some cute umbrellas along with Papa Steve for the kids, and they were a BIG hit. They got to use them during the storm. We went out to watch the show and they used their new umbrellas to protect them from the spray coming off the roof.
While Jarod and Papa Steve were looking in the back yard for some good sized hail, Nacho crept inside and sat on the rug. He kept inching a little farther inside in order to secure his place away from the storm. He ended up staying in our bathroom during the storm, and the poor thing was so scared, I don't think he moved at all until the storm was over.

A damp Papa Steve and Carly are showing off the mostly melted half section of hail that they collected. See the different rings in the ice? Cool!
