The kids and I stopped in to see mom at work at the Weather Center and look what was in the parking lot!!! The Dominator! Can you tell we have been watching too many Weather Channel tornado shows??? How cool is this car??? Mom's co-worker (Thanks Alicia!!) let us borrow her camera to take some pics of the kiddos with this awesome car. 
Travis and I would love to go chasing sometime. Unfortunately we don't have thousands of dollars to pay for a formal tornado tour, and our deductible is too high to take our own cars which would probably even out with the cost of the tornado tour .. ha! So, guess we will have to get our fix by watching the non-stop coverage of severe weather on TV this spring. Nathan loves tornadoes as much as his mommy and daddy do. Yesterday, he took a "tornado tube" to school for show and tell (kind of ironic, huh?) It is basically two 2 liter soda bottles joined together...one filled with water. Flip it with the full bottle on the top and then rotate it a few times and voila....a tornado forms in the water and slowly flows down into the lower bottle. Apparently the kids at school (and the teachers) just loved it! His show and tell was a hit :) It tied in perfectly with their recycling themed day being that it was made with recycled soda bottles. Pictures of the tornado tube coming soon!
