A spring picnic in Oregon!

We had one of Ben's little friends over for a play date the other morning. It was a nice spring day so we decided to pack a picnic and head to the nearby park. After playing at the park for about 15 minutes, the sky opens up and starts to rain! That is Oregon weather for you! So I put Andrew and the little friend back in the jogging stroller and put the rain flap over them, Ben gets on his bike and we hurry home. Ben is peddling like mad, saying, "Moooommmm, Hurrrryyyy!" I am running as fast as I can and we get home. We get into the garage, I get the kids out of the stroller, take Ben's helmet off, turn around and notice that that the sun came back out! Yep, we were caught in one of those 5 minute downpours! So, since the ground was wet, we laid out our blanket on the garage floor and had our picnic in there. Then the kids rode bikes, but this time we stayed much closer to home!

And I must say, Ben did great riding in that hard rain!
