Hail Storm

A few weeks back we had a major storm come in and dump a ton of hail on the valley.  Chris wanted to go hit up Peralta Trail.  Ever since we have lived out there we have always wanted to see all of the water falls off of the mountains after it rains or during.  But when we lived out there we had a two wheel drive vehicle and we didn't want to take the risk.  So now that we have a four wheel drive vehicle we want to go see it.

This is traffic on the way into Gold Canyon.  There were 3 car wrecks on the way in.  One at Tomahawk, one coming into Gold Canyon and a roll over about a 1 mile from the 2nd wreck.  It was a mess!

This would be the reason why there was traffic.  And I feel horrible that I took this picture because it makes me look like a weirdo.  All I ask that no one seriously was hurt in this wreck.

The mountains off of Peralta Trail

I sure do miss living out here for this reason.  

Just beautiful!

Then when we came home we checked out what was up against our house.  We could tell that it all came in from the north because there was nothing on the south side of our house.

Daniels first spring training game

Well we took Daniel to his first spring training game.  It didn't go as well as Chris and I we had planned.  When we ordered the tickets through his work we thought Daniel would be totally stoked to go!

Well at first it started like this:

Then at about this time we lost Brookes sippy cup under the bleachers.

This was about the only time we got to actually watch the game without some kind of request from one of the kids.  At that point we had no idea what was going on in the game.  

Then after we took this picture I had Daniel go down to retrieve the sippy cup that we lost.  While Chris was taking Daniel to get washed Brooke threw these adorable gap sunglasses under the bleachers...at that point we were all irritable - the kids were tired and Chris just wanted to go.  I wanted to fetch Daniel to go get them but the whole trip over all was bad.

At least I got a picture of me in here...
