We went to a picnic at a lake yesterday afternoon and had every kind of weather except snow. It was sprinkling on our way there, but by the time we got out of the car it had cleared up and was pleasantly warm. Some of us went out on the boat and then came back to eat. Just when everyone had gotten their food and were sitting down to eat it, it began to rain. It wasn't so bad since someone had rented a pavilion, but it just kept raining harder and harder. It was coming in at an angle and the wind was blowing really hard, and it was raining really hard, and it was thundering really loudly. Everyone was getting soaked and food was flying off plates, and there really wasn't anywhere to sit where it would be dry. It rained for at least a good fifteen minutes before I was freezing, so I ran the few feet to our car and was soaked by the time I got in. I got my sweater and my beach towel and ran back to eat my soggy hamburger...yeah, not appealing.
The rain was just letting up when I heard another crack, but it wasn't thunder, it was the lovely sound of a car smashing into another car, and that other car happened to be Sarah's Honda that was parked right by the pavilion. There was obviously a turn in the road and you're supposed to be going 5mph, but this car didn't turn, and it wasn't going 5mph, and it back-ended Sarah's car. The car that hit Sarah's was all smashed up in front, but amazingly Sarah's only had a couple of scratches! It was in park and skidded several feet across the grass when it was hit, but didn't hit into anything else. And no one was hurt, except the first car. So that was interesting.
And then it got really hot and we I played frisbee and volley ball and then went tubing. The water was cold, but it felt so good! So that was my interesting day yesterday.

Wow, you had a very eventful day! I'm sorry you got rained on. :( The tubing sounds like fun, though, I love tubing!
