goodbye, katie!

katie and laura left for utah on saturday (aug 10), so we went over friday night to say goodbye.
and also on saturday too cause i forgot katie's gift and chris wanted to say goodbye. 
but that's another day.
there was a crazy storm getting going right as we were leaving. super loud thunder and crazy lightning! scary! when we pulled up to the mccombs, everyone was in the garage because clay had picked up this little diddy!
an injured hawk!
they think he'd gotten hit by a car or something, so they picked it up and called animal control.
then, not an hour later as the girls were playing in the basement, they called up that there was a snake. in the basement! it was like ding-dang noah's ark up in there!
after all the animal fun we got to focus on katie and how much we'll miss her!
and i am happy to report that in spite of all of matt's teasing and christian's forgetting, this set apart missionary did great. it was all professional handshakes for the male crowd!
yes, addie is wearing her bathing suit. yes, it was pouring down rain. and no, her hair didn't get brushed. we're soaking up the last few days of summer break, okay? and i haven't been feeling good. 
don't judge.
we took a texas sheet cake and ate and visited and loved on katie. 
we're gonna miss her, but we're so proud of her!!!
the storm was still going when we got home, so i tried to get a lightning picture. this was as good as it got. this was lightning lighting up the sky.
and the regular black sky without lightning.
and the next day laney enjoyed some leftover sheet cake.
family favorite, yummm!
goodbye sister mccombs!
 see you in 18 months!
