A Soggy Fish Fry

We planned a fish fry for all our friends yesterday at Cory's mom's house. There were about 20 people there, and were all having a great time in the pool. The guys got out and started frying the fish when we saw clouds in the distance. Knowing Texas weather, we figured that even though the clouds looked ominous it might not actually rain. So, we continued our fun. Luckily, the boys were smart enough to put the sun shade over the frying area. The first batch of fish were ready, and we got the kids all set up at the tables. Just moments later, the rain started. It started as a light sprinkle which lasted for all of 3 minutes, then the storm began. Pouring down rain, thunder, and wind! We were all scattering around trying to get the kids under the small covered area before their food was ruined. It was quite a sight to see, I'm sure! Brooke was sleeping soundly in the swing, and Dana saved her from getting completely drenched. Glad I have friends that help me take care of my kids :) We thought the rain might pass quickly, but after about 30 minutes of steady downpour, we realized that might not be the case. The boys kept frying food and bringing it over to our extremely overcrowded sitting area for us to munch on. The kids played in the puddles and the garage. Finally, we decided to pack things up and go play at the Hrobar's house. It was a little disappointing to have our outside fun cut short, but we had a great time hanging out and playing there, too. It's great to have such good friends to spend time with, even when things don't go as planned we still make it memorable! Needless to say, because everything got so wet, there are no pictures to document the soggy fun :)
