Miracle Workers V. Master Minds (again)

Tuesday we played the Master Minds, again. This time we played at the YMCA in Barium Springs instead of the elementary school. It was nice that it was close to our house but the weather was cold and rainy. We got to the fields and only see our goals set up. They apparently didn't have time to line the field because of the rain. It was interesting trying to eyeball the lines. Anyway, the kids played just the same. Jack's friend, Hayden, was back this week. Jack really seems to like him. He was SUPER excited the whole game. You can tell from his face in all the pictures. He had to stand next to Hayden all the time. It was a particularly physical game. Kensley and a boy on the other team gave each other a hard time. Kensley fell on him a few times (i am sure he regrets messing with her, i would have). We were ahead most of the game and the Master Minds were making a comeback but then Kensley returned from the bathroom and we came out on top. We just had a practice on Thursday and our last game is next Thursday. Jack has made a lot of progress and even kicked the ball a few times (yes, really kicked. like on purpose). I was very proud, as i always am.









Wednesday was also a rainy day. Eric came home early since everyone had left the job site due to the bad weather. He happened to look out the back door and saw this funnel cloud across the street. It never touched down but was really neat to see. Yes, we were the crazy people out side taking pictures.

This is when we first saw it.


As it moved away.

Hey, how did I miss this post?? That funnel cloud was AWESOME!! We would have been the crazy folks outside watching it and taking pics, too. Scot and I have always wanted to be storm chasers, probably because we are big dummies. Maybe after the kids grow up! :)
