Hail Hurts!

I think that is the lesson learned this weekend. The weather was supposed to be good all weekend. It was like summer had finally arrived. Saturday it was in the low 80’s which was super hot compared to what we are used to. Saturday Luke and I went for a bike ride. We rode through Breberen, Susterseel, Gangelt and back around to Langbroich. It was a nice ride, although a bit exhausting. I don’t ride enough to be used to these long like 15 mile rides.







Sunday started off nice. We were planning on going walking with Marita and Christian but put it off until the evening because it was so hot during the afternoon. So seven o’ clock comes around and we are getting ready to go and we look up and the clouds have gathered. We figured we would go walking anyways at the worst we would just get a little rain. We got to the other side of the fields about 20-30 minutes from home and it starts hailing on us! Not just rain but big pea size hail pounding us. I am not sure if I have been in a hail storm before but if so I don’t remember. The hail mixed with the wind was not a great combination, it really hurt, I think I have bruises from it! So we run home and there are people hanging out there windows laughing at us! The sad thing was that by the time we got to our house the sun was out and shining again and the hail was gone. Luckily none of us have gotten sick….yet.
