Yikes...

The weather these last couple of weeks has been crazy!! We went to Orem Summerfest on Saturday and a monster of a storm moved in while we were there. Luckily we were prepared with jackets and a large golf umbrella. We could tell the storm was moving in, so we decided to sit inside the large pavilion that had a stage set up for performers. Despite that, the wind was blowing so hard that we still had to put our jackets on and put up the umbrella to protect ourselves from the rain that was blowing through. All the vendors were trying to hold onto their tents and there was tons of trash blowing all over the place. We could hear the thunder crashing right over our heads, and unfortunately the police came and made us evacuate the pavilion since it was only a temporary structure set up with metal poles. Not too safe I guess! Anyway, by the time we had to leave, the worst of the storm (the wind) had passed, so we put both kids on the stroller and put up the umbrella and made a run for the car!
Here we are huddled under the umbrella. Charlie of course was fast asleep in my arms. He didn't have a clue!
I am grateful for the rain, I know we need it, but I am looking forward to some warmer drier days. We have a season pass to Seven Peaks that we have only been able to use once!
