Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to all!  Since we live in a city near a very large military base and SAC just around the corner I have to give some thanks to our men and women in uniform.  We live near many families where one and maybe two parents have served or are serving right now.  What a noble and brave job, it is more than I could ever do.  So thank you!

Today is going to be a mellow day for us.  We celebrated yesterday.  McKayla has a friend that she really likes and Jeff and I like her parents too.  Its really nice.  So we had them over yesterday to play on the water slide, teach everyone how to shoot a bow - cuz you know that's what we Gibson's do - eat some great food and of course watch some NASCAR!  Go #9 - I know you are excited too Wendy Lady!!  We also played some Rock Band and sang out of tune.  That was a great time.  But the really fun part was the storm that rolled in like a rocket ship.  

It was just beautiful outside and we could see the thunderheads coming fast.  So, we cleaned up a bit and decided it was time to go inside.  Jeff and our friend Brian had just finished putting the patio table in the garage when the wind came....FAST!  And then the thunder rolled and the lightening struck - have I heard this somewhere before - and the rain came down.  It was great!  For about 20 minutes we got rain, and storm and wind and then it was gone with a gorgeous rainbow outside.  I love those summer storms as long as there is no twister with it.  

Today looks like some more normal rain so we will just hang out and relax today.  Maybe take a visit to the gym or some shopping.  Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend!

Sounds like excitement over there. I have to say we miss the storms a little. It is almost hysterical to hear them talk about the thunderstorms here. Rich and I just laugh...

We had a nice day too with a storm too boot! We did get some hail ( alot of hail actually) and that was sort of cool.

We miss you and talk about you pretty much everyday.
