Day seventeen: June 26

Today was family day. Family day spending time together doing things whistler would like to do outside of his chariot. Today was our day off the bike, off the saddle, out of our shoes. This morning however; we were greeted by a nice storm outside. First the dark clouds rolled in, next heavy rain and hail, 60 mph winds.. The weather report said stay inside and covered. Today we were supposed to go downtown to the dragons hallow (park), we were going to be delayed a bit it appeared. 10:35 the storm rolled in, by noon the storm had rolled out and so did we. We bundled up and headed into the cold 55 degrees of cold to play, enjoy our day! We ran around the park, tried to get whistler to ride the carousel, walked through alleys to view the trash bins, checked out a great store full of different

things (would have been a great place to shop back in college. It had rugs, furniture, dishes, even cards.) Then we headed back for a nap! Our nap took us right into evening, just in time for dinner,continued cold weather, and another trip afterwards to the park at 9:30 pm. This staying light outside throws us all off, but whistler asked to go not understanding how late it actually was..
