It was a wet morning

So I did the MS Super Cities walk this morning. Last night I worked close at work and then returned after less than two hours sleep to meet the rest of the closers plus two more to go and register. We were team Pita Pit. Woooo.

So we registered and moved into the carnival atmosphere that was set up in St. Mary's highschool. There was free donuts and juice, and coffee. And then we found the face painting. We went with my brilliant idea to get ninja turtle masks (I was red). Harvey and Stew had to be different with a lightening bolt and a half blue face. We also drew pictures for the wall of art.

The boys went out for a smoke and came back with a report that it was raining cats & dogs. They held the walkers back for about 15 minutes, and the rain let up a bit. We took off on the course....then the lightening and thunder started. The thunder was so powerful that it set a car alarm off. Strangely enough the rain started harder then with drops the size of your heart falling with furry.

We kept walking, though we were all soaked to the bone. Erin and Andrew jumped in every deep puddle then could find, and then complained about how wet their pants were, and that they smelled like sewer.

Five kilometeres later we were back at the school for free hotdogs and watch batteries. A fun time was had by all.
