Rain on the mountain
I am once again watching a storm roll over the mountain where my son is camping. Seems like we did this at the other end of the summer as well. Only this time we have the added excitement of lightning. They’ll be fine. It looks like the storm is going to blow through pretty quickly. It just seems that the surest way to summon weather is to plan a camping trip with my kids involved. Kiki’s girl’s camp was rained on too.
In the mean time, I spent an hour skating around the local rink. Gleek, Patch, and their young cousin all accompanied me. The rink was nicely empty, but we all wore out by the end of the hour.
…and Link just arrived back home. The big hike to the top of the mountain was already anxiety inducing, but then to be sleeted on, soaking wet, and out in the open with thunder booming all around was too much for him to handle. One of the leaders brought him home. There is a group leaving in the morning to try to catch up with those camping on the mountain. We plan to send Link along with that group. Hopefully he’ll still be able to get to the top of the mountain, only with a much smaller pack and in sunny weather instead of storms.
