Usually we greet a rainy day with groans and disappointment. Today is unusual in that we are happy to have the rain! We've had a very hot and dry - if you don't count the high humidy - summer so far. Our fields are dry and the horses are finding very little green grass for grazing. I was anticipating having to implement a burn ban. So when I awoke to the gently falling drops and a forecast for all day rain - I just smiled.
After breakfast I heard the Camp Director advise everyone to move into "Rainy Day Plans". With the absence of thunder & lightning and continued warm temps, today's rainy day plan seems to be just some slight modifications of activities. Campers are still swimming and boating - the counselors are noting "you were going to get wet anyway!" Our store manager is grinning as he sees those rain ponchos he stocked finally start to leave the store shelves. Arts & crafts is full and the board games that have been gathering dust all summer are challenging all.
Wish you were here to listen to the rain drops, see the kids & staff go puddle stomping and here the cries of "I want to be the car" as the monopoly game commences.
I love rainy days at Camp. Of course, I love every day at Camp! TTFN - I'm heading outside to find someone to "puddle stomp" with!
