Oh and about that tornado...

Umm yes, we did have a few tornadoes touch down in Castle Rock and the surrounding areas on Sunday. Yikes! And I thought they wouldn't happen here where it's hilly...what do I know. Thankfully we were totally clueless to what was going on until we saw the news that evening.

We decided to walk down to our friend's house and visit with them. Since it started thundering and raining (Kellen is ABSOLUTELY terrified of thunder...still) we headed inside and missed all the excitement. Although when it was time for us to head home Brandt (our friend) had to drive Rick up to our house to get our car because of all the rain and hail...big pieces of hail too.

Our next door neighbors were in the movie theaters when they stopped the movie to inform them of a tornado warning. All patrons had to leave the theater and go into the bathroom. They didn't want to be away from their two young girls so they left. While walking to their car they actually saw the funnel cloud...pretty scary. I didn't hear of any major damage, but yikes just knowing about it kind've gives me the creeps.

Nothing like living in Colorado where the weather always keeps you on your toes. As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather now, wait 15 minutes." It's very true!

I didn't even hear about the tornadoes. I live in Doraland and we don't get much news around here. I'm so glad your family is safe and sound.
