Rangers Game and a Storm

On June 20, we were lucky enough to go to a Rangers game. It was really fun and they won!

Peter's boss gave us 4 tickets. We took the boys and left Arabella home with a babysitter, which at first Jon thought sounded like more fun- he changed his mind after we got there.

Joey eating his frozen lemonade- he loves them!

Happy to be out to a game!

This is the treat that Jon chose and made him very happy. Yes, that pretzel is bigger than Peter's hand. We all enjoyed it and it was a mere $12.50.

A bit of a funky angle but we were having fun!

Our tickets were on row 20, third baseline- GREAT seats!

We only stayed until the bottom of the 7th and then it was late enough so we headed home.

On the way home, we noticed a great deal of lightning over the Lewisville area.

About 2:30 in the morning, that lightning turned into a full on storm.

The rain was pounding so hard that it woke both Peter and I up. The kids slept through it due to the direction the rain was hitting the house- their windows were not getting pounded like ours.

We headed downstairs to check out what was happening- that is hail and Sasha's bowl that had been empty was full and overflowing with rain and hail.

Peter showing the size of the hail. It rained so hard, so fast that it flooded into our garage and the road in front of our house was a river.

Our garden took a beating. It was looking so nice and then it looked as though it was destroyed.

Those were cantaloupe and watermelon plants. You will be relieved to know that much of the garden is making a come back. We lost a cucumber plant.

Joey really wanted to help clean up. He swept our neighbors driveway. I also took this to document the squash plants that had grown up and over and down the fence, in case they did not survive. These plants are still alive and the vines that are on the ground have started to take root- crazy!

I posted a picture of my lilies a few weeks ago. They looked so sad and still do not look so great. Almost every leaf was broken or torn. They survived a freeze this last winter so I have not given up all hope.

I feel this need to get caught up on my blogging- it could not possible have anything to do with a baby coming very soon (4 1/2 weeks)!
