It’s raining.
Actually it isn’t raining now, but it’s been raining. Rain rain rain. Bossy will tell you all about it later today, after she returns from the campground’s Science Center where Bossy and her daughter will be making bead bracelets, which come to think of it doesn’t seem very sciencey.
But at least it’s kind of Centery.
Urgh.
I remember family camping and rain and being stuck in a ittsy tiny trailer-house for days with my brother…
Bad flashbacks. Hope your weather improves!
Send the weather up to Michigan. We are sadly lacking in moisture right now.
Actually just very summer-campy.
KEEP BELIEVING
We are basically drowning here in Central Maine. But my 14 year old is THRILLED cuz if it keeps us, he NEVER has to mow the lawn!!

Projected heat index for where I live today? 112 degrees. Yeah…making bead bracelets while listening to the rain sounds better than sex right now.

Hmmm confined quarters with spawn and rain. Camping is just the best.
Bead bracelets. How campy!! (And I mean that in the best possible way).
p.s. Campground with internet access? That rocks!
Brings back memories of family outings with the ‘rents (who are actually HERE right now, on holiday) up in the mountains with our Coleman camping trailer…and the rain beating down on the canvas, and the smells…and the humidity. At least the rain kept the rattlesnakes at bay.
All SIX of us trapped in that little thing.
What I would have given to have been able to escape and go make bead bracelets.
Oh man…Houston is soooo going to get LOTS rain for real. Tropical storm Eduardo is heading straight there by tomorrow. That is where my daughter is and not at camp.
When it rains on us, and we’re stuck in our 1987 VW “Westy” — once for 4 straight days, in the Florida Keys — there is only ONE thing to do. Hit the milk-crate-doubling-as-booze-cabinet, and start making up songs. About the rain. And the booze. And then go outside and dance in it.
Have fun!! Heading home from our vacation tomorrow – though, we got 107 degree Texas heat for ambiance – enjoy the rain!!
Please send rain here. It is one hundred and twenty seven trillion degrees. Thank you.
We’ve FINALLLLLLLLLLY got rain. My pumpkins are happy now.
We got nailed real big with a combo, 60 mph hail, deluge, lightning right on us sending the cats under the beds, all this happened about an hour right after we finished building Zelda’s Doggie Hilton. The storm even sent the ducks under the house. It was a warm-up Cat 1 hurricane.
Why, yes, we do got rain! Or we will by tonight … or tomorrow morning, whenever Eduardo gets his ass in gear. But the silver lining is that the heat index will drop back into the double digits. For a day and then go back up to like a bazillion. And two. Point six.
Dear Bossy–
If you happen to be staying at a camp site in the Lake Champlain Islands I can give you a few pointers–and my in-laws “camp” address (Camp = what they call shacks by the Lake in Vermont. BTW, my in-laws, well they drink gin too.)
We left the day you arrived and we didn’t have the rain. I was just all bugged out, literally. One good point about the rain showers (not storms) is the amazing rainbows over Lake Champlain!!
Drink up & spray bug spray!
Whenever I get the urge to go camping I just sit in a hot closet and think about bugs crawling on me, avoid showering for days on end, and try to light wet wood with a pack of matches. The urge goes away purty quick.
Have fun, Bossy family!
Would Bossy rather be dissecting a frog?

Houston really IS going to get rain, and we hope to catch a cloudburst or two as the storm dissolves over Central Texas.
Camping in the rain is FUN!
