Rain "dance"? Try Rain "bike"

After an entire week with better than a 30% chance for showers, and clouds like those Amber described, we have gotten only a pittance of rain: 7.7mm. Yes my rain gauge is metric -- I'm a science teacher, go figure(convert it here.) So, no real rain that is, until we threatened to go "bicycle."

Megan, after learning to ride without her training wheels, has asked every day, "Can we go bicycle?" We had a fellowship after church last night, so we promised to go bicycle with her this evening-- and not just dad, but mom on her bike and Madelyn on the back of dad's. We have a child's seat that converts to a book rack. It's easy on and easy off (amazon has one). So as I walked through the door from school the first thing I heard was, "Daddy!... when are we going to go bicycle?"

After supper, we got down the bikes, I put air back into Brandy's mountain bike tires, and we all got strapped in... just in time for the rain to start...

Long story short, the rain let up long enough for us to get in twice around the block, and Megan got her ride, Brandy and I got our exercise, and the yard got watered. Everybody's happy (at least for the next 20 minutes...)
