My Dash - Week 17

This has been a very cool rainy spring. The boys were supposed to go on a father and son camp-out Friday night. They got all packed up and then it started pouring and we had thunderstorms in the night. They decided to stay home and have Chinese food and movie night with the girls. With all this rainy weather big sister A and brother M have gone out a couple of times just to run and be in the rain. That reminded me of how we used to have dancing in the rain parties as kids.  The first time we did it was at Goomie's house.  I remember thinking that the neighbors would think we were crazy.  From then on it became a summer tradition.  Whenever their was a downpour whoever saw it first would call the rest of the siblings to run outside and dance. Our porch in the Easterbrook house was covered, so a couple of times we even put music on through the window on the front porch. But that was not really necessary. Sliding around on the wet grass, acting crazy, and getting soaked was more than enough fun in itself. We almost always had friends over in the summer too, so they had to do it with us.
