HAIL

We have had two totally crazy hail storms this summer. The first one was in June when Chris was out of town. We were trying to Skype with him during the storm but the hail hitting the roof was so loud he couldn't hear us. Fours hours and a tornado warning later and it was over. It cause all kinds of damage (new roof, new paint for deck and windows, new gutters, etc.) and many hours of yard work so we weren't too happy to see the second one. Even the kids said, "Oh man, that means A LOT of yard work....!" It was however fun to see them playing in it and to look out and see the trees and yard just as white as if it were snow! Ben filled bag after ziplock bag of hail and attempted to "store" it all in my freezer to make ice sculptures....it was a sad day when the hail got tossed out!
