After he played for awhile we went and sat in our chairs and ate some pizza slices that Craig bought at the pizza place that is there. Right as we were about to finish eating we saw our usual afternoon DARK clouds rolling in. We knew it was going to rain but figured it would only last a couple minutes. Moments later it started to sprinkle so we grabbed the kids, our towels and food and huddled under an awning for it to pass. Well, the sprinkle turned into a terrential downpour with wind blowing like crazy. Craig ran out and grabbed the rest of our stuff and people were screaming as their umbrellas they were huddled under started to fly away!
The place completely cleared out within minutes with everyone seeking shelter in the shops around us and the awnings outside the shops. We took cover in our chairs right outside Forever 21 and were staying pretty dry for awhile Chase even convinced us to buy him frozen yogurt while we waited - haha).
All of a sudden the wind shifted and we were getting soaked! We ran into Forever 21 with about 15 other people and just huddled inside the door waiting for a break. We ended up waiting there for about 40 minutes until the rain got a little lighter and Craig decided to make a run for the car. He pulled up and we got the kids in as fast as we could - still getting everyone pretty soaked! Unfortunately due to all the choas we both thought the other one grabbed our chairs and we ended up leaving them there. Oh well - thank goodness they were only $10 a piece :)
It was a crazy but fun night - sometimes an adventure makes the night that much more memorable!
