A Soggy Day

Last weekend Me,Cole, Laura and her daughter Estella and neices as well as Betsy and her daughter, decided to go to Grants Farm. Good Ole' Dave Murray said the showers were a light ban and would be gone by 1pm. So we got there...and as soon as we stepped off the tram it poured! No light ban of rain here! So Cole and Katherine fed teh goats in the rain. Since we had 4 and 6 months old with us, with one umbrella (thanks to me) we found a big tree to stand under. No cover at Grants Farm! We stood there for about an hour as Cole and Katherine played in the rain, Betsys stroller got soaked and Estella slept in hers. Let me mention that we were standing next to the gigantic tortoises that we found Lindsay we deathly afraid of as one walked toward us! So we moved cover again. WE stayed there 15 minutes and decided to get the heck out of dodge and just run like hell in the rain to the tram! Oh...but whats that? Oh yeah...all of the other 200 people had the same idea. SO we ran in the rain, only to be at the end of an hour long line for the tram with no cover! We gave Laura the umbrella and took the kids under a sliver of an awning. With no cash left, I ran to the free beer counter and got Besty, the kids and I an Odouls to share. (thats non alcoholic) Finally an hour later we load the tram and get back to the station as it QUITS raining! Who cares, we left anyways and went to the fire station to play on the trucks! In the picture you can see Cole was a pirate fireman!
