HAIL...In the middle of June!

Today I sent the kids to go play at our neighborhood park. It was a beautiful day. Not too sunny...not too hot. After about 15 minutes the kids came back because it had started to rain. I thought that was so weird because the skies had been blue all day. Little did I know how weird things were about to get!

As we are sitting in the house, we start to hear these really loud bangs. It sounded like rocks hitting the house. It was so LOUD! As I looked outside, I realized that it was hailing! Yes, you read that right...it was hailing in the middle of June.

If that wasn't weird enough...it was the biggest hail that I have ever seen in my life. They were easily the size of golf balls. Each hail looked like it was made of small hail balls stuck together. Most of the hail were perfectly shaped balls. I have never seen anything like it in my life.

Look at how big they are! I used a quarter for reference! They were gigantic...or as Zachary would say, "Gi-ank-tis!"

The storm lasted about 20 minutes and then the sky turned back to blue and sunny. Weirdest thing ever! I am just glad that the kids weren't still outside when the hail started falling!
