Wet Walking

So the story behind the soaking three girls and children. Almost everyday we go out walking. We have this really nice walking trail next to our apartments. It is fifteen miles long. And no we do not go that long. We walk for about 3 to 4 miles. By that time the kids are done. So this day was beautiful. We started our walk. At the half way point we noticed some clouds that did not look very inviting......
We turned around. Did I mention that we had convinced Dana and Brent and their dog Hurley to come with us. We had two miles to walk back. The weather started to deteriorate quickly. We walked faster. Little rain drops started coming at one mile out. We walked faster.



At half a mile out the rain came down in sheets. You could not see very far in front of you. We ran. By the time we got to the car, the stroller, kids, moms, dog, brent and everything else were soaked. Carter even lost a shoe (thankfully it was in the bottom of the stroller) Needless to say I threw the kids in the car along with the stroller. It was the fastest I have moved!

haha. thankfully i've never been caught out in the rain with the kids...but i have gotten caught in downpours on runs. SO not fun. Can't even imagine it with kids in tow. :)
