Labour Day (rained out)

So today is Labour Day and since Nate had the day off school and I don't work on Mondays we thought it would be fun to invite a family from church to a park to have a little BBQ and let the kids play. The drive to the park was nice and sunny and there was only a minor chance of rain in the forecast. About 5 minutes after arriving it started to get really windy and we could see dark clouds coming our way. Right as the other family got there it started sprinkling. We weren't going to let that scare us away! This was the first time we actually invited someone to do something and we were going to make the best of it. Plus, you try dragging 4 kids all under 4 away from an awesome park after you've only been there for a few minutes! Almost everyone else at the park was leaving so we had the best picnic bench that was under a cover and we were close to the play area and a grill. We figured if we waited it out long enough the rain would pass and we could have the park all to ourselves. After another 15 minutes of waiting it out the rain was just getting harder. When we saw the lighting flash we decided we better try again another time. We did manage to get a couple shots of the kids chasing the gulls before we had to run to the car.
