Getting Out!

Tonight I am going to be out and about without the little people! Their Aunt Debbie is coming over to hang out with them while the girls and I go to Matt's ball game! Me getting out of the house sans children is few and far between. So, even though I am going to another ball game doesn't really matter to me. I will even be able to watch it. I wish I could say I would miss the little ones, but I won't! Well, maybe a little. The picture is the boys watching Apryl's softball game. Oh, right, they weren't actually watching anything that had to do with Apryl! We were at this game during a tornado warning that included golf ball sized hail and an incredible amount of rain dumped in about 20 minutes! We went to the game after all that, but the weather was generous enough to leave massive puddles everywhere for my guys to play in! I was wondering to begin with why Jeffco hadn't canceled the game?!? When we arrived at the field the tornado sirens had just stopped! So, like all the other crazy people, we hopped out of the car, unloaded the kiddos and played in the water! This is the second spring-summer in a row that we have been under a tornado warning. Sirens and all! I have been here all my life and can't remember another time when I even heard the sirens. We always would say, "Arvada is not a tornado area." I guess that is changing! The tornado we have on tape from last year was practically in the back yard it was so close!
