Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...
So yes it is a week ago today that we got this wonderful weather over my house. It rained and hailed for close to an hour with tornado warning and sightings right by my house. I was enjoying the weather while doing a workout when I started getting text messages about the tornadoes so I turned off my video and turned on the news. I also call our police department to find out if our city had tornado sirens and we don't. In other words if there is a tornado you will have no warning unless you are looking out your windows or hear it and if you hear it you are probably to late. This was towards the end of the storm but you can see in the picture of my van that that it is still coming down and that all the hail made my bumper have issues. I really enjoyed listening to the rain though and Rex loved looking at the 'ice' and he thought it was pretty cool to play with too.
