NoDak Trip Continued...

While we've been in Minot, there has been a fare amount of rain. One night we could tell something was coming our way by the looks of the sky. We figured it was gonna be a good rain storm, but had no idea it would be a huge hail storm!! I haven't seen hail in a long time living in Texas, so it was fascinating. Lauren was lovin it. We sat in the garage and watched as the ice cube size hail pelted the car, the flowers, etc. Crazy, I tell ya! Enlarge the pics below for a better look!

Did an informal photo shoot downtown...AFTER we tried getting all of the grandkids together for a FORMAL photo shoot with a photographer. It didn't go so well. Bella refused to be in any shots for the first 50 minutes. It was only after the photographer grabbed some candy for the kids that we got a decent shot of all 8 of them together! Too much work. We had fun after everyone left and I found this cute little brick cubby (or whatever you call it) for the girls to sit in! I was hoping to do lots of cool photo shoots around town, but it's not working out that way! I guess I have a few more days left to try, but we'll see!
