Jump up and down like you just don't care. But you do care, don't you, emo kid?

Yesterday was my lovely mother's birthday. I wanted to celebrate a bit so we all went to the park today and had angel food cake and the kids played on the equipment. We were worried about rain, so I brought one of those umbrellas that you put through the center of a patio table and a regular umbrella. Apparently I was the only one worried about rain because those were the only two umbrellas brought, and when it started raining, all of my aunts and my grandma huddled beneath the large umbrella. They were trying to make it to the dry pavilion, but didn't want to come out from underneath the umbrella. So as a group they very s-l-o-w-l-y waddled all the way to the pavilion, trying not to step on each other, but also trying not to get wet. It was hilarious to watch the struggle. It was like the umbrella was a big mommy duck and they were the chicks ducking under the wings. Everyone in the park had their eyes fixated on the crazy sight. All of the kids had brought swimsuits to wear to play in the water feature, but instead ended up soaking their play clothes in the rain and had to wear their swimsuits on the way home to keep the car seats dry. Tenzin crawled around on the ground trying to eat any small bit of anything that he could find and Lilli has finally conquered her fear of slides and happily slid down all of the available slides, splashing into the puddles at the bottom. Overall, I think everyone had fun and a lot of laughs. Thankfully, it was a pretty laid back group and the rain didn't do much damage to everyone's cheery mood!
