A Summer Storm

Tonight John and I took our kids to Wal-Mart. We needed to stock up on some things (mostly diapers), spontaneously bought Isaac a new car seat and pajamas and toilet paper, and a basket of plastic fruit for Jeremiah. I guess the toilet paper was for all of us.

We checked to see whether it was raining before we exited the store. It wasn't. I think we covered up Danielle with a blanket anyway. As we got to our car, a huge blast of storm hit. Carts were driving through the parking lot unattended, the kids got wet after they were inside our car because the hatchback door was open and the wind made the rain fly instead of fall, we kept chasing after our carts as we were getting the kids in because we thought getting the kids in was our first priority and didn't think about our "stuff."

It was a blast! John and I got soaked.Isaac was talking about "the rain and the wind and the lightning and it was scary and it was fun and it was wet" the entire way home. Jeremiah was laughing. And Danielle was so cute: she looked surprised when the wind blew her blanket off of her and she got wet, but she was happy about it.
