Just how can this be?

Last night when we walked out of the arena it was an absolute down pour. We were drenched as we crossed the street. Then the down pour let up some what to a steady rain as we walk the 3 blocks to our car. Just the moment the last car door was closed the downpour started again!

Amazing, Just how can this be?

As we left we saw the most beautiful lighting, it was awesome and everywhere! Hubby called me to say that there was a severe thunderstorm with large hail would cross our path as we were coming home, I should come straight home quickly. It was a down pour, buckets and buckets of rain all the way home. Never letting up.

Amazing, Just how can this be?

Just as we turn on to our road, the rain stops. totally stops. We walk inside dry, still watching the lighting show. Once we were inside for about 10 minutes the rain started again!

Cub Scout day camp first day .... sort of....

The day started early with a lot of excitement.

We left the church at 7:15am and headed south to the campgrounds.

The morning was cool and breezy

which is always a welcome combination at day camp.
We head to our first class in "Orienteering",

where we learned to use a compass and read a map. Then on to fine motor skills where we made and painted dream catchers.
That's when things outside started happening.

lightening, thunder, wind and then the hail.

We stayed in our rock shelter

huddled under the tables

for about an hour.

They cancelled the rest of day due the fact that there was some repair work to do!

This is the size of the hail we found when we got out from under the tables and out of rock shelter!

Every BODY rode the storm well, but the van didn't fair so well. This windshield and a lot of hail dents. The ride home was rough also. We headed into another hail storm. It hailed so much that it was piled up on the highway and blown to the edge of the road. It looked like snow drifts on the side of the road.

We're home now!
