Rain Rain Go Away





Today we decided to go swimming at Lake Ouachita. We got up there and the clouds were looking a bit ominous, but we decided to swim anyway. We blew up all our floaties and got in the pool. There was a family of 72 from Romania there, so we had a little company. Most of them were eating, but there were a few in the lake. The best part was watching them build human pyramids. It was pretty funny to see them scramble on top of each other and then topple over. Then it started to rain. We kept swimming though. A few minutes later, the lightning came. We decided to try and wait out the storm under some nearby trees. The kids stood on a picnic table, did a rain dance and sang rain rain go away. Then it started pouring. We realized the storm wasn't getting any better about the same time we realized Keith had to ride the bike home. We decided to call it a day and Keith got a free shower on the way home!
