The weather was beautiful and the kids played in the sand for hours. But our second night brought severe weather to the area. A tornado watch that ran late into the evening eventually became a severe thunderstorm with the threat of strong winds. The park ranger sounded a siren at 11 pm, which had us pulling sleeping children out of the tent, and running with them in the dark through pouring rain to take shelter in the shower building. Memorable, indeed!
But we are back home, safe and dry and well. And very thankful for one another.
