Birthday's and Storms....Oh My!!

It was a pretty eventful Memorial Day weekend. We had severe weather most of the weekend, including during Madi's birthday party. But it didn't damper the fun we had. I think it turned out to be a great afternoon.



We got Madi a swing set Saturday and the kids played on that.



They also had fun with bubbles. We hooked up a trailer to the back of the tractor and pulled the kids around the field a couple of times in it. I thought Madi would be the first one to bail out of it, but she absolutely loved it!





And she had a ball having all the kids out to play with. Half way through opening gifts she took off to join the rest of the kids playing in the play room. I had to drag her back to finish opening her gifts.

Chris went to high school with a guy who is an artist and also does cartoon drawings. Chris had him draw a couple of pictures of Madi (more for me than Madi). They turned out really cool.




During the birthday party, a lot of the adults were standing outside watching funnel clouds dip in and out of the clouds just north of our house. Fortunately, we didn't get any of the severe weather that hit in other parts of the state and everyone got home safely. But we had a lot of lightning, wind and rain.

Yesterday evening we received some bad weather again. But the sun came back out just at sunset and we had some awesome skies to look at and rainbows too. Made a nice end to a long and busy weekend.



We hope everyone had a great time at the party and a safe weekend.

Love, Amy
