We tried to go to the pool today, but as we approached town we saw the sky getting dark and gloomy. We stopped in at Pizza Hut and had lunch, and watched to see if it was going to storm or pass over. We finished eating and as we headed into the park, we saw lightning and knew the pool would be closed for at least half an hour. We decided to get some ice cream in the clubhouse and wait and watch to see if it would pass quickly.
Sylvia drew on her ice cream cone with her tongue.
We waited about an hour and watched as very sparse lightning came about every 10 minutes or so. Finally, a bit of rain, even some hard rain came. It was much needed, and not enough. And though the rain lasted only a few minutes, the lightning continued to reset the "wait 30 minutes after the last lightning flash before the pool reopens" counter. We left without swimming and went home to melt some more. Still we had time together as family today, and we are grateful for that.
