Hiking in the Rain



Well -- we weren't the brightest last night. It has been raining in Dallas for like a month straight and definitely all day yesterday. But -- in a brief break from the storm, we decided it would be nice to take our family of 4 out for a leisurely evening walk before bed/bath routines began. So David strapped on his new hiking boots so he could start breaking them in for his big mountain trek Colorado trip coming up in a couple of weeks, I got Marin in the Baby Bjorn carrier pack on my chest, and Cade...well, he didn't have to do anything to prepare. And we started walking.

By the time we had rounded the first block, it was sprinkling pretty good. No big deal, though. I brought an umbrella for Marin and myself. Then when we got to the farthest point from our house, it started POURING. And I mean really pouring. And lightening and thundering. We looked like idiots out walking in the monsoon. I am SO glad hardly any cars passed us. In this part of town, it really would've sealed the deal that white people are stupid. :)

Anyway, we walked back to the house as fast as we could with rivers running down all sides of the streets. It was flash flood in a BIG way. Kind of a funny story in the end. :)
