Hail on the Beach

Dyleva officially began their beach vacation this afternoon, however, they encountered several setbacks along the way.  

To Dylan's delight a big-ass choo-choo was blocking the road into the beach.   For hours.  I know this because Daddy left 3 hours before us, and the same car was on the track. 

So we detoured.  We got to see the town of Angola.  We arrived in tact on the brink of a major tormenta.  

Jeff had the niños out in the water about 10 minutes after they arrived with lightning in the distance.

"Jeff, there's lightning, could you. bring the children  in please?"

Hail on the beach!

Not long after the niños entered the house, a major storm continued.  There was hail falling the size of golf balls.  Lightning shot across the lake.  It was a great storm!

Later we watched a probable inappropriate film with the children (Jumanji), which they loved, but had a million questions...the niños were fascinated!  A successful but unlikely beginning for our beach vacation.
