TORNADO!

Let Summer Begin:

Memorial Day at LBJ

 G and Emery Spent hours on the swing

 flyin' high

 While J begged to get out of the girly swing!

 but did love his banana!

 he pushed his Sissy

 and walked up and down the yard

all day long

 He loved having so much space outside.

 snack time

 Jamesy and TioTim

 got a Jetski ride in!

 some T-ball

 these two are good!

 negotiating who's first

 He opted for the swing

 and is pretty stinkin cute

 before he knew it he was flying high

 my boys

 just chillin'

 beautiful Sunset

 Then came MONDAY!

Friends from San Antonio calling our family

Confirmed TORNADO on the ground

Headed DIRECTLY TO US!

 The girls & kids packed like sardines in this TINY closet

Fortunately the house is made of concrete blocks!

(Great pic I know)

 Windows everywhere!

We shoved mattresses infront of the small bathroom window where the boys would be

(Dad had them wear hats and sunglasses just in case- he's always thinking)

 after 45 minutes of multiple tornadoes confirmed on the ground within a few miles of us...

we got the all clear!

~~~~~~

The boys rushed to raise the boats as debris floated past our dock

and ominous clouds moved away!

 Tons of trash filled the lake

(brings back memories on 2007)

 with the water flowing OUT

the boys got to moving the trash away from our property

Mimi promised G a Brownie

when we got out of the closet

(she was Terrified the entire time)

 Finally some giggles from these two

 Later that evening... when things settled down

 G and Daddy went on a Kayak ride

 and TonTon SUPed

 typical TonTon fashion

He "towed" a stranded boat back to their dock

(yes, he paddled it in on the SUP)

 He "helped" Mommy cook dinner

 We are grateful that the storm passed with no damage!

Luckily Daddy took Tuesday off

Otherwise we would have followed those storms to Houston

where we had MAJOR flooding and huge storms Monday Night and Tuesday morning

 With our weather apps telling us +5.5" of rain

and friends reporting they had +10

we didn't know what we would come home to!

But, we got about that- 5.5" rain

and no damage to our property 

Now- off to build an ark... this rain never stops
