Wish they had adult size of those, as it has been so hot here lately and summer
hasn't even started!! We have had tornadoes in the area the last few days;
lucky no one was hurt or killed, tree damage and some walls came down on a
carwash, old trailer houses torn up and only a back part of the local grocery
store where freezer and a/c units were damaged. We had heard the roof
was gone and that would have meant the people would have to go 23 miles
for a grocery store; it should be ready to open in less than a week.

We had everyone's cell phones and wallets on the porch with us. That way we were guaranteed a dry zone. lol
They've all gone home now and the house seems so quiet. Our 13 yr. old is still here but even she's rather quiet. We've all done a lot of resting/sleeping since yesterday.

My DH has a huge family and we all used to get together for July 4th. In 1982 his cousin hosted the party in his sloping back yard. One game for the kids was bobbing for apples in a washtub at the top of the slope. Where the water sloshed over, a muddy spot was created and soon all the kids were sliding down the slope in the mud. Then the "big boys" (my DH, his dad, his 5 brothers, and a few cousins) got into it and started sliding and rolling in the mud too. Pretty soon, they started dragging all the women into the mud, even my MIL! I had a three-month old baby, who I held firmly on my lap, so I just got mud rubbed all over my face and arms. But every other person in that yard was covered head to toe. The cousin's yard would never be the same, but that was probably one of the most fun and memorable family get-togethers we've ever had.
