Easter Weekend

Last night, all six of us (Kristen and Pat, Kaitlyn and Michael, and Joe and I) went to a local landmark, The Mont and sat on the patio and had swirls (margarita and sangria mixed in a swirl fashion - The Mont's signature drink).  It was such a beautiful day yesterday - it got up into the 80's.

 

We had dinner while sitting out there hobnobbing with the local Normanites.  Most of the students went home for Easter so it wasn't as crowded as usual.  In the middle of the night we had a really bad hailstorm/thunderstorm.  We saved one of the hailstones in the freezer.  It was about ping-pong ball sized.

 

Here some of the damage it did (beside ruining all of our cars).  The magnolia tree got torn up pretty bad and there were lots of leaves all over the front yard.

Our Pine Tree on the west side of our house lost lots of pine needles on the ground.  It was pretty scary.  Our golden retriever is afraid of the storms so she got OUT of the doghouse and ran to the back door getting pounded by the hailstones. She was pretty shooken up by the time we let her inside the garage.
