We're singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.....

Kids come up with the funniest names....this is "Uncle Crunchy" as H has dubbed him. I call him Uncle Crusty and pretend like I just can't quite remember his new moniker.







We went to Barcis, which is a short drive from home. I didn't take too many lake pics as we have been there before. Barcis is that lake that is REALLY blue, kind of in a bizarre way. There may be more photos on Aunt D's camera, which is currently with her on her travels.
That could be part of my lack of posting excuse, no, really, it could. The weather has been a bit rainy lately. We packed our lunch and set out anyway. After a short walk around the lake, we sat down to have our picnic.

The rain came down. We were under a pine tree and I was getting outright wet. My Man kept insisting that it would "let up."

All the while, there was a perfectly good TENT- the kind that covers you, but is open on 4 sides...not too far away.

I did realize that we had just sat down AND that it wouldn't be fun to move, but it was raining, and did I mention I was getting wet? I insisted that we move- I swear I got an eye roll, but he contends I did not. We moved and the rain did not let up for a LONG time! It was still pretty and, nice and dry, we had fun!



Our theory about how Fonzie won't run away in the rain is completely out the window. We were under the tent and he took off to go be with Uncle Crunchy at the outhouse : )

What fun to be having a picnic and moisturizing at the same time! Uncle crusty looks right at home with the Fonz. Little engines are quite happy with the outing and sharing fun with Nanny! As for your Man's eyebrow raise...hmmmm...no soup for you!
It's great to hear about the good times--what a blast. The pictures are wonderful--keep them coming--always enjoy seeing what you're up to. The little engines are precious!!
