A friend of mine asked me to walk with her in the Homecomers 5K this evening about a week ago. Not until this afternoon did I realize that weather may interfere. Everett and I showed up at the park around 6:00 and we registered for the race and were ready to go! The kid's one mile race began at 6:30 and our race was to begin around 7:00. We started to walk and then about 10 minutes into it, we had completed one mile and the skies opened up and the rain was pouring down on us. Everett was such a trooper! So many people were impressed with the way he was acting. He didn't cry or whine at all! He just kept looking around and what was happening.
The moment that I saw the lightning getting bad, I decided to pull aside under a few ladies with large umbrellas. The moment I did, the MONSOON came!!!! It was raining so hard!
Here we are under an umbrella. You can see just how hard it was raining by the raindrops in the background! Crazy monsoon!
Everett was much more fascinated with the lady holding the umbrella.
Here we are SOAKING WET!!!!!!! Everett is the best kid to be with in a rainstorm. He's so brave and strong! I told him how proud I was of him. We didn't get to eat dinner until 8:00 (usually his bedtime). He was so tired and ready for bed after we ate supper at home and he laid down smiling.
:) Love him so much. He's growing so fast and I'm taking in every moment.
