Caught in the rain

This evening around 7:30 Steven and I decided to go on another one of our hour long bike rides. It was beautiful when we left, but about a half hour into our ride it got dark and started to rain, and then pour. Of coarse there was a little bit of thunder and lightning too, but God saved the big BOOMS til we got home. The experience was quite exciting for Steven. As we reached our neighborhood Dave and Michael were just about ready to pull out of the neighborhood with the bike rack on the car. They were coming to rescue us! We were so close to home though at that point, we just rode the rest of the way. Needless to say, by the time we got home we were completely drenched, but it was a very memorable experience! Here we are (minus our helmets) when we got back.

I remember getting caught in rainstorms when we were kids. I recall a time when we were up at Burger King (or maybe we went there just to get out of the rain- reminds me of a song- boom, boom, boom...) It was great fun to race home in the pouring rain!

That reminds me of the time Audra, Alen and I went hiking on the trail near our house with Sherman last summer. Same thing! It poured and we were drenched! It is a good memory that we still talk about!

Brett and I had a similar experience. We took our bikes over to the Erie Canal and rode for quite a distance when it started to POUR. By the time we got back to our car we were not only drenched but covered in mud as well as much of that trail isn't paved. We didn't have a camera with us... But we sure were a sight!!!
