I forgot to share last Sunday's adventure OMG it was crazy !!!! I was in fear of the babies drowning :)(exaggerating)
Sunday we decided to take a brake from the monotony which is cleaning, cooking, laundry and headed down to the lake. Armed with our picnic blanket, babies lunch bag, sun hats etc. we headed out. Big brother Troy joined us on his scooter and off we went, it was a beautiful day, clear blue skies, nice breeze coming off the lake it was a nearly perfect day.
The babies enjoyed their lunch and I was busying myself searching for perfect photo ops, when dark clouds started rolling in, Adri and I looked at each other then reassured ourselves that there was no mention of rain in the forecast or so we thought. So I continued taking photos then noticed that everyone at the beach was packing up then heard the loudest thunder clapped over our heads. (Crap we have to go)
I hurriedly grabbed the kids strapped them in the stroller and started running, Adri was behind packing up the blankets and shouting to me "Run babe, I'll catch up" Shoot you ain't gotta tell me twice I'm off.
Now for those of you who don't know where we live, we have some hills there which is (excuse my language ) a bitch to walk up much less trying to run and push 40lbs of baby in it. Oh God we thought we were going to die of exhaustion, we ran down the hills while the skies got darker and darker, there was that smell of a storm brewing in the air, and the winds started howling, lighting clapped, thunder rolled, and I was screaming. If this rain catches us out here I am almost sure my kids are going to drown, we are trying to run again but my legs are weak I can't make it. A nice neighbor called to us and asked if we needed shelter but we were almost home, only one more bitch hill to go lawd have mercy. Like the little train that could "I think I can, I think I can" We finally made it home and Adri unpacked the stroller and as soon as he got inside the heavens opened and oh my what a down pour it was. Trees were down, people lost power it was frightening to say the least.
Oh if you were wondering where Troy was through all of this ? Yeah he was home, while we were by the lake feeding the babies he decided that he was bored and left us :)
