Running in the Rain

This evening Philip was being very fussy, so Jc and I went outside for a walk with him and were joined by Mom and Libba. As we started out it began to rain lightly. We continued down the street and then turned back for home. After we dropped off the little ones and Mom, I suggested that Jc and I walk around the block once and then come inside. It wasn't raining too hard and Mom agreed. I would not have made the suggestion to walk more if I had thought that in a few minutes it was going to rain in earnest, but as it turned out, we were only halfway home when it began to rain much harder.

At first this was alright but then I realized that we were going to get very wet. We began to run as it rained harder. We passed a few cars and some people on their porch and they must have thought we were very odd indeed to go walking in the rain. I didn't really mind though, it was a nice outing in the rain. We finally got home, dripping wet. I felt like we ought to have snuck in through a window or something. But since we had asked, and received permission, to go for that walk in the rain, we had no real reason to sneak in the house. My hair has punished me for getting wet though, it has become most difficult. I will probably have to wash it to calm it down.
