Swimming in the Rain

Dinner and an evening swim at Julie's has become a frequent activity in our family.  Last weekend we headed over to Julie's looking forward to grilled chicken, family, and fun!  As soon as we got there everyone changed into their suits and was off to the pool while we waited for the rest of the family to show up.  It wasn't long before Kayla mentioned the dark clouds rolling in.

The storm arrived and everyone held up their arms to feel the patter of the warm rain.  Whats the worse thing that could happen?  You get wet?  (Hello!  We are in a pool!)

The gentle drops turned into huge drops of rain coming down pretty hard.

When the large drops turned into small hail stones everyone stayed low in the water for protection.

When the hail stones grow, the joy of swimming in the rain goes away fast and all you can hear is ow, ow, ow...

...and everyone runs for cover!

We all enjoyed dinner enough to overcome the pain of being pelted by large hail stones.
