Raquel was 'surfing' on Dylan
Tonight Raquel and I went to watch Dylan play soccer. We all rode over to the field on the bike (it's about 3/4 of a mile away). On the way there we noticed that it was quite a bit cooler than it had been all day. During the hour that we watched it continued to get cooler (it was only 65, but we're used to at least 85), and then it started to drizzle. Fortunately we had an umbrella. Unfortunately the soccer players continued to play as it continued to rain. When they finally finished, much to the relief of the somewhat soggy spectators, we got back on the wet bike and headed home. I wish we had a video of what occured next - I will try to explain- the three of us were perched on the back of the dirt bike as the rain steadily came down. I was clinging to Raquel with one arm and to Dylan with the other while trying to also hold an umbrella over all of us. As we got going, the wind bent the umbrella back, so we stopped to fix it. As we started again I tried this time to angle the umbrella so the wind wouldn't bother it, but then it kept flapping over Dylan's eyes so he couldn't really see where we were going. Also, during this whole time I was laughing somewhat uncontrollably at our completely ridiculous situation, which didn't help my control of the umbrella. We finally stopped, put the umbrella away, faced the elements and then arrived home a little more wet and muddy than when we left.

Sounds like fun. Has Dylan ever told you about his umbrella-skating days in Betty's?
I'm glad you made it safe and sound - not too worse for the wear. I would have offered you some hot chocolate and hot tea:)
hey ang, doesn't that sound exciting.
