Jon celebrated his birthday yesterday. It started out very rainy as he packed up all three tents. Oh did I mention that we took 7 kids (including our own) camping the previous night? Yep, and it rained when we arrived at the campground, slowed a little as we set up tents, misted as the kids swam in the pool, stopped while I cooked dinner and created a roaring fire, and pored as we finished roasting marshmallows. But that was the day BEFORE his birthday.
For Jon's birthday, we took the kids back to the house (as it was pouring and we couldn't even cook breakfast at the campground). They played on the Wii while we made pancakes, hot cocoa, and put dry clothes on. Around noon the sun came out and teased us with the promise of warmth. We took the bait and packed everyone up to head down to the fountains. As we were driving the heavens opened up and poured rain on our vehicles. Not to be deterred, we continued on.
Once we arrived at the fountains, the rain had passed (the clouds continued) so the kids got a good 2 hours at the fountains. And at the park. It did sprinkle a bit while we were there but nothing to worry about. Finally it was time to take the kids home. I would say they had a blast, even while they were huddled in the car, waiting for the rain to pass. :)
