Hail Storm

We just got an alert on our handy dandy tone alert radio saying that there was golf ball size hail and high winds headed our way. Mom, Ryan, and I put the van in the garage and moved Nick and my car under a tree in hopes that it would shield it a bit. Then in pulls Neal on his motorcycle to see if he could put it in the garage. He made it in with a few seconds to spare, the rain started, and about 30 seconds after that the hail came. They weren't golf ball size more like bouncy ball size but they did litter the yard and hurt when they hit (nothing like in 95 but still entertaining). Ryan thought it might be fun to jump on the trampoline before the hail started but it didn't just start small it came all at once. Luckily all is well here. the streets started to flood but it only lasted a few seconds so no harm done, my newly paid off car seems to be ok. Here are a few pictures of our most recent entertainment.

Very cool video. I need to learn how to put those on... Do you do it from your regular video camera or phone camera? Can't wait to see you next week!

I just use my regular camera. It does ok snap shots. Not the clearest picture but I get the general idea across. Can't wait to see you next week. My last vacation until I have to get serious.

I missed that storm. I was still in Iowa but it looked fun. I already miss you guys. Send me your address so we can come visit some time or go to lunch. I hope all goes well for you in Nampa.
