The forecast for the weekend is grim. There's a ninety percent chance of heavy rain Friday and Saturday. What should we do? Take action! Yesterday we created an action plan and put it in motion. I don't follow football, but I understand the concepts involved. Take shelter when it's available, avoid confrontation, move swiftly and duck when you're about to get hit.
We put twelve hours of work each yesterday. It reminded me a bit of 2014 when we had to abbreviate the trip, but the arrangements this time were far easier. The key change is that we'll have dinner in the park and utilize the shelter of the pavilions. That way the kids won't get soaked cooking in the open. Then we'll hike up Seymour St. rather than cross country to save them from slopping through eight inches of muck. We don't normally make these accommodations, but the threat of hypothermia is very real.
Hopefully, Saturday's weather will be a bit drier, though we know the temp will be in the forties. We'll assess as we go and adjust to the conditions.
No matter what, the kids will have a great time!
