Wet Ducks

          Today was a fun day. It was Dad's day off of work and he went straight to working on some more remodeling. For lunch we headed to Costco and while we were there we decided to purchase the new hard wood (laminate) flooring. It took a lot of work to load it onto the cart because they are heavy. The weather has been overcast for a couple of days now....heh heh heh. So we pushed the cart of flooring to the otherside of the parking lot where we are parked, and over to our trailer. We get over there and we see a little hail starting to come down. In a matter of seconds we are in a complete downpour. I have never seen so much rain come down so fast! We all jumped into the truck because we were getting drenched.  We just sat in the car for about 5 minutes hoping the rain would let off, meanwhile we hadn't brought a tarp and the flooring was just sitting in the cart outside. We keep hearing Dad say Why! Why! Why! Everyone else just thought it was funny. It was the first time this summer it had to rain.
            It was flooding the parking lot. We all jumped out of the car because we needed to at least hurry and load it because it didn't look as though it would stop. I had never been in nor witnessed that much rain. With half of it being rain and half hail it was like standing under a cold shower. My older sister and I were getting pelted, it was so wet I had a hard time keeping my pants up and we were laughing so hard that it was difficult to lift such heavy things. It was hilarious! We got all loaded and we quickly got in the car and we were soaked to the bone. My sister and I were ringing out our shirts and squeezing water out of our hair.
            Then finally on our way home about 10 minutes later, it stops. We went inside after unloading then and we had to open all the packages and had to quickly wipe them dry. As Mom said, "It's the first time we are mopping the new floor".  It was fun. I would do it all over again if I could. I think everyone would have except Dad. :)
