It's Raining Cats & Dogs!

I could barely see anything in front of the car!

Yesterday, the forecast for today was 40% chance of rain. If you are like me, I decided that although there was a chance of rain there was a greater chance of sunny weather. Well, apparently I was flat out wrong. Not only did it rain, it POURED! I am talking sheets of rain! 

It has only rained this hard twice since moving into our apartment. Ironically, I have been at the public library both times. Each time Kennedy and I make a MAD DASH for the car. 

Despite my amazing running skills, both Kennedy and I never get to the car unscathed by the treacherous rainstorm. In fact, we are both soaked to the bone by the time I manage to get the car door open. 

To the left you can kind of see the wet spots on her shirt and her hair matted to her head. I don't look quite so cute with wet hair, or with wet pants for that matter. 

Some of the people at the public library were waiting at the front doors for the storm to let up before going to their cars. The only problem with that plan is that the rainstorms out here can sometimes last an hour or longer. I had a hungry wet baby, and frankly...she wasn't going to wait an hour for the storm. 

So ultimately, I decided to run fast and look upon this experience as our adventure for the day. 

Next time the forecast says 40% chance of rain, I think that Kennedy and I may make another trip to the public library. That would be three for three; and I think we have officially started a tradition. (i.e. tropical rainstorm ='s a trip to the public library)
