{ the storm }

I love summer thunderstorms.
They are one of my favorite things.
I remember splashing in the warm puddles with my sisters after a soaking summer rain
and picking up flooded earthworms to be used for fishing trips with dad.

When the atmosphere started darkening tonight, we headed outside to enjoy the dramatic skies.
Hannah was all smiles as we watched the menacing clouds swirl overhead.

Electricity was in the air!

But then the thunder started, and Daddy's shoulder looked like a much safer place to be.

When the skies opened up, we put up the garage door and watched the downpour from our lawnchairs.
Yep, we're from Missouri. It's what we do.

When it was done a short time later, we were blessed to see this beautiful reminder in the sky.

Perfection.
