Our Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday, we were supposed to be getting 10 yards of dirt delivered to our house at 4pm. Our backyard is in desperate need of leveling and 10 yards should just about do it. Aaron and I had been watching the weather forecast for the weekend. Thunderstorms and rain were what we were to expect. Actually the thunderstorms were supposed to be coming the afternoon we were going to get the dirt. We really weren't wanting to shovel mud and then try to level it. Our deliver date was changed to this coming Saturday.

Saturday, of Memorial Day weekend, was nice. Jared and Lydia had offered to help with the dirt. Since we weren't getting it they came letterboxing with us instead. Then we played at Avery Park. The weather was beautiful. While at the park we could see big clouds forming in the west. We were feeling good about our decision. After the park we ran some errands. While at Safeway we were at the check stand and in started to rain so hard. The drops of rain were huge. Aaron ran to the van drove up to the door and we quickly got everyone in the van along with the groceries in less than 30 seconds. Aaron's hair was dripping wet along with his shirt.

Not getting the dirt was definitely the right thing to do. As we drove home through Avery Park, The rain started to slow. Once we got home it wasn't raining at all. There hadn't been any rain all day at our house. The whole weekend was dry. But we did have a great time at the park and the rest of the weekend was very low key. Hopefully the rain will continue to stay away until we get the grass seed planted.

The kids are always asking to go to train park, even when it's raining. It was fun to finally get there.
