What The Hail?

While in Colorado I experienced my first hail storm! I'd seen some hail in California, but it usually melts in seconds and/or just looks like thick rain. However, in Colorado I got to see the real deal.

Hail!

Nate had Maddy and I put out our arms to let the hail pelt us on its way down. It stung!


After a few minutes I realized I could really show you guys what it was like. Enjoy the loudness of a hail storm



It lasted all of 5 minutes, but, like in life, if you can just get through the storm there is a rainbow waiting for you on the other side.

Oh my, that's a lovely shot of me at the end! Yicks! I didn't know you were filming! You're so fun to be around when something happens you haven't seen before.

Ugh! I am sooo jealous, I miss not having thunder/hailstorms out in So Cal. Looks like you guys had a great time in CO! Love the enormous turkey leg. ;)
