Speaking of experiences, we definitely had a new one on Friday night - a large, ferocious thunderstorm during tent camping. While I certainly enjoy a good thunderstorm every now and then, this one was a bit close for comfort. I was certainly tempted to reenact the panic I experienced on a Smokey Mountain trail during a thunderstorm when I was around six. I remember yelling "We're all gonna die!!!!!" and truly believing it. Luckily we didn't, so we could experience this colossal one as well...minus the panicked yelling.
While camping was the highlight of the weekend, we did have an unfortunate surprise waiting for us at home. Our freezer door was open and most of our freezer items had thawed! We had water everywhere and had to pitch about $15 worth of (previously) frozen items. Fortunately, a lot of the items we had in our freezer included ice tea concentrate, juice concentrate, bread, and granola that we could save. We did lose some homemade ice cream, a little fish, spinach, and some chicken. We've had some trouble with our freezer lately, such as keeping the door shut and water dripping into our refrigerator. We've made a call and hopefully this will be fixed by tomorrow. So while the weekend was wonderful, the ending left a little to be desired.

Great photo of the sunset! It sure was magical and magnificent!! We had a great time too with the storm and all....especially, the "we are all going to die" part!! Thanks for your wonderful help this afternoon...it was greatly appreciated. Sorry to hear about the $15 worth of lost food...I'm really not all that sorry, but to bad for you! Anyways, this was all typed with love!!

What a beautiful sunset! Sounds pretty fun and sounds like your tent didn't leak, which is always good. It hardly ever rains here in summer, we could use a good thunderstorm!
