Fishing & Wood is here!

My little family and I decided that we would go out and try Daddy's new boat. He got it last year but didn't have much of an opportunity to try it out. So away we went. Tyson had never been out in the boat before so it was a new adventure for him. But keep reading because I'm quite sure that it wasn't a good one!

It was semi late in the morning when we went out. About 10am or so. Late for the fish but okay to try the boat and have the kids throw the line out some. Tyson was eager to get back with Dad so he could make him proud and catch a fish. Like he knew what that meant at the time! But all proud of himself was he! Cute eh?

Dalton just sitting and waiting for a bite. And waiting.. and waiting!

Tyson 5 minutes later already bored and looking for a snack. But as a good mother I came prepared knowing the only thing they would be eating today was what I brought.

Oh he had his snack and is ready to try this thing called fishing again!

Dalton was just bored at this point. See the enthusiasm. We had been out for 3 hours at this point and not even a bite.

So we got to Deseronto and we noticed that some black clouds were coming in. So Darin said well we had better head back. So about 20minutes later we hit the rain. About Shannonville. It was windy cold raining and Darin is the only one sitting in his seat the three of us are all cuddled up on the floor trying to stay safe and dry.

So now you understand why I said it wasn't a good experience. But it gets better. We get back to the dock load up the boat. And head home. The further we get towards town it gets darker. Then it starts hailing...like dice! I am glad we missed that in the boat it would have hurt! So we are going down a country road towards town and I said to Darin my goodness I have never seen clouds that low to the ground before they were just above the tops of the buildings in this area of town. Darin commented and said yeah they do look odd.

No more thought of it and we headed on home, drove out of the hail, and into rain again. So we made it home safe and sound.

So here is the kicker get ready!!

Tina and Mike call us about 2 hours later and said did you hear that a tornato went past our house??? We were about a mile from thier house two hours before that... Hail, low clouds... sound familiar. I just about crapped my pants!! I couldn't believe it!

Everyone was fine just a little damage to trees and tents and one barn.

But still I couldn't believe it.

Where were we???? Fishing! In a tornato!! Then drove thru it!

HOLY!

When we got home it was sunny at our house and we had noticed that there was a nice pile of beams, posts, chipboard, tyvac, nails and wood all stacked up on what we like to call our front lawn.

Looks like we might see some action this week. Let's hope.
