the rain | part 3

Did I tell you it started storming while we were camping? And we were at the lake?

It rained for two hours at least, and we huddled under the patio with another family.

We became fast friends with the only child, whose name was Skyler. (isn't that like the most awesomest name? Defiantly the next main character in a new book of mine is gonna be named Skyler)

Before the storm ---

We were drinking cheerwine;

Creating 'Cair Paravels';

and acting silly. 

Fifteen minutes later we were soaked and shivering, waiting for the storm to pass before we walked to the van.

The storm finally paused for a brief moment & we rushed to the van and headed to a hotel. All our stuff in the tents was soaked. But we still had a good time with Skyler's family. Skyler's mom gave us all hot dogs & chicken sandwiches. Wasn't that nice?

See what I mean by us having a good time? 

I think Pech will always remember her time with Skyler, the 'pretty girl with purple flip-flops' while she waited for the rain to stop.
