Hailstorm !

Would you believe we indeed did have a hailstorm in our home area? It happened just right before I tucked the boys in bed. While Ryan and I were in his room getting ready for his bed, Ryan suddenly made a puzzle-looking comment as he heard something unusual, "Mom, it is raining very hard outside. " At the very last minute, I let them to go up in our front door to take a look at the rain.

Little know what to expect when I opened the front door. The moment I opened the front door, I was really SHOCKED to see the hailstorm. I then hurriedly grabbed for the camera because it was the first time I saw the hailstorm since 1982. It was the first for the boys to experience the real life: hailstorm.

The hailstorm was everywhere in our area. We could see all over our front yard, cars, street and backyard. Thank goodness, it did not damage our cars' windows, but knowing it would kill some of our plants, especially my all-time favorite plant, Bird- of- Paraside Flowers. While watching David shoveling some of the hails in a large plastic bag, Dylan and Ryan had the taste of hails from the sky before falling it to the ground. Ryan was too excited to watch the hails from our opened garage, yet he understood that he had to stay under the shelter.

While we were taking pictures for our life time experience, Dylan decided to write so-called song,

"Look Out for Hailstorms."
Look Out for Hailstorms
Look Out for Hailstorms
Look look out for hailstorms
Hailstorms are very hard
so look out for them.
Be sure to look out
for hailstorms they
will hurt your head.
So don't let your head
get cracked up by hail.
Stay in your home and
don't open your windows
or else you'll get your head
broken.

The beat is catchy... He just needs to work on the lyrics a bit and he will have a best seller there!

Wow Its pretty late in the year for hail in California. We were supposed to get hail and tornadoes in our area of South Carolina last weekend. We got a little wind but not much else ( thank goodness.)

Mom, Dylan asked, "What kind of money would you give it to him?" He said that any musician needs to earn money.
