Rain, rain, go away! (Courtney)

The last couple of days have been very stormy with lots of heavy rain. This afternoon we went into the city and ended up staying for some dinner and drinks. As we were leaving it of course was raining quite heavily outside but we made it to the bus stop without too much drama. By the time we got off the bus it was pelting down. On top of this, just for added enjoyment, we seemed to have timed our 15 minute walk from the bus stop during a huge lightening storm. Hmm...so it was deemed that umbrellas were too dangerous and we would just have to hightail it home. As we walked it got heavier and HEAVIER, here's us looking like drowned rats....





Absolutely soaked!! The guards must have wondered what the heck we were doing as we sloshed our way through the school gate - mind you we were also carrying some groceries and two 5 litre bottles of water for the apartment!! A couple of months ago, we did a "seasons and weather" class with the junior kids. We had all these pics and were asking them to tell us which season they belonged too. The one with lightening and an umbrella, we had as being Winter, but all the kids yelled out Summer. We now understand why!
