Hail to the Freaks of Nature

We had quite a thunderstorm at lunch time today and it was quite a sight to see.  The large rain drops turned into hail and we had a bit of fun playing.

As the hail hit the water in our swimming pool, it churned the water and steam started to rise from the pool.  It was facinating to watch.

Riaan got out the rake and collected some hail together

so the girls could make some hail-balls to throw in the air.

Throwing the hail in the air and watching in splatter.

Great Fun!

Daddy had some fun too.
