Rain and Hail

Crazy thing happened a couple weeks ago (Thur May 22nd) and I'm sure most of you from around here noticed :) The weather was nice and cool and it rained (which is strange in itself) but the craziest part is that it hailed in our neck of the woods (which is really bizarre). The last time I remember seeing hail is probably ten years ago. The boys and I had a blast playing in the rain and hail in our backyard (poor josh missed it all because he was at work) Sad :( At least I got some fun pictures to show him :)

As soon as the hail started coming down the boys came running back onto the porch shouting Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Then Tyler asks (very excitedly) "Mom, what are all those white sprinkles?" It was too funny! I loved their reactions to the hail :)

After discovering it would not REALLY hurt them, they got brave and started playing in it too.

The hail pellets were the size of a frozen pea

We were a little disapointed when the hail stopped, but the boys still had fun playing in the rain.
