zoo trip and storms

As I sure most people know storms are a huge fear of mine, so as you can imagine I have not enjoyed the last week. We have enjoyed the few dry days we have had any between all the rain. Last weekend we spent all weekend outside. Saturday, Brandon, Gwen and I went to the Topeka zoo. It is Gwen's second trip but first one since she has been walking and talking. She loved it!! It was so fun. After the zoo we went to ride the train but were 5 minutes to late so we just played at the park for awhile.

After the zoo, we went to dinner and then headed home, that is when the day went bad. We got caught in the storm trying to go home. We pulled over under a gas station canopy because the hail was so large and then we were right in the path of a possible tornado. We saw the rotation of the clouds and a hook keeping coming down but luckily God was watching out for us and we made it home safe. Then Saturday night, not long after Gwen went to bed the sirens went off in Baldwin but there wasn't to much damage and we were all safe again. Sunday, the three of us went for a bike ride, we have a little trailer/seat/ stroller thing that you pull behind a bike for Gwen, she has the cutest little helmet. Then she played in her water table.

Tuesday was the last day for students! I still am doing some works to the libraries at the two school that they are closing but summer has started!
