Major Storm

Tonight, it was just me and Reagan. Jim was off to a conference and my parents were not available, so I took her shopping with me. We went over to Old Navy and got a few things for her before heading over to BBRUs. Soon after we got in the store, a storm rolled in and started causing some noise. Lighting and thunder was in full swing by the time we got to the front. And just as we got in line to check out, the lights went out. oops.

So we stood in line and read books. Good thing she picked them out. We hung out there for a bit and watched the crazy storm from inside. The lights did finally come back on after about 15 minutes - not too bad. We checked out and rolled out to the front of the store.

Ummmm yea - it was time to get soaked. There were a bunch of us huddled in between the front doors wondering what to do. It was pouring out - the rain was so heavy that it wouldn't take long to get soaked.

After a while, I decided we needed an adventure. I grabbed an extra bag to cover the diaper bag and started laughing with Reagan as we headed out the door. We got soaked from head to toe in a matter of seconds. We giggled the whole way - well until we got hit with HAIL!!! WHAT THE HECK!!! Yea, she and I both got hit about the same time. Oops. Nice job huh.

Oh well. I hit the remote to lift the back and we dove under - cart and all. I picked her up and scooted her in. I got our stuff out, shoved the cart and dove in myself. We sat in the car dripping for a bit before I even tried to dry her off.

And yes, as soon as I started driving, the rain let up! :)
