We were just sitting on the deck talking about what a great day it had been. It had rained until 11 am, we had a wonderful bbq on the new bbq the kids and I bought Norm for our anniversary and Father's Day, and then the weather was perfect until about 5pm when the clouds started moving in again. We decided to move from the front yard to the deck as the lightning and thunder came closer. Suddenly we were hit with a hail storm with pea size hail. It passed over us but then we heard what sounded like a thousand drums beating across the valley. The hail was moving east hitting all the roof tops as it went.
The sound effects were great but the best part was the vivid rainbow stretching across the valley. We decided it was so vivid because the sun was reflecting off the ice in the hail storm.
Just when we thought it couldn't get any better two rainbows began to appear stretching across the valley. The second one or top one didn't stay for long but it was amazing. The pictures didn't do it justice. I don't think we have ever seen such a vivid rainbow stretching so far let alone two. The kids had their cameras going for the Father's Day Festivities. I wanted to post maybe something you all didn't get a picture of. Perhaps one of the best Kodak moments was Rylan holding Noah and singing "Take me out to the Ball Game" Thanks to everyone in helping make Father's Day a day to remember. And a special thanks for the rainbow!

Sorry we missed it! Happy Fathers Day Norm!
Wow...what a rainbow. I must have missed the storm. The BBQ was a lot of fun and the food was terrific! Thank you for hosting such a great get together. The only thing missing was Nate, Ang and the girls. I also loved when Ry was singing to Noah. Noah is so lucky to have such a great family who loves him so much!! Thanks again and Happy Fathers Day to the best dad a girl could ever ask for!!!
I agree with the whole lot, it was so nice to get together...and the weather cooperated rather well for us! We definitely missed the other part of the Barnes' family too!
I hope dad can operate the BBQ without burning everything :o). But then again, I think that's how Julie likes it! We appreciate you guys and hope that this is the first of many BBQs to come this summer!!!
Happy Father's Day again, Dad. Wish I could have spent the whole day with you...
