It's Raining It's Pouring!!!!

Last weekend we went for a bike ride with our friends Sergey and Lilianna and their kids Gosha and Yura. We stopped off for some supper at the little vineyard restaurant. While we were there a thunderstorm rolled in. It started raining, then the wind picked up, and of course there was thunder and lightning. We had been sitting outside under a tent, however that didn't last too long and we headed indoors. (We have one child in particular who does not like thunderstorms lately - she was quite upset and scared.) We sat indoors for quite some time - but then thought it was letting up enough that we could try and head home (about 5km). It was getting a bit late - and we didn't want to end up having to bike in the dark if we continued to wait it out. Well - just as we were all on our bikes and down the road a bit it DOWNPOURED!!!! We got SOAKED! But at that point there was no use in turning around - so we just peddled away. At the top of one hill it had finally let up - and we were all (okay not all) laughing about the craziness of biking in the pouring rain -we had to stop for a photo! MEMORIES!!!! Shane was loving it! Sydney - not so much! Silas was behind me on the bike and got soaked as well (you can't see him in the picture). Shaylee and Shelby were safe and dry in the bike trailer - but wanted their picture taken too. What a ride!!!!
