Last Friday I had the great idea that we should all go to Silver City and go swimming. We left in the morning for the 1 and 1/2 hour drive. When we got to town it was a nice sunny day. We did all our shopping first. After the first store there were a few clouds forming in the distance. After the next store the clouds were darker but still in the distance. We ate our picnic lunch and finally headed to the pool. The clouds were getting closer, but it didn't seem too bad, so we decided to go in. Carly and I had just got our swim suits on when the bathroom suddenly filled with tons of people. We went out to the pool to find out it had been closed down because the lifeguards had seen lightning. So back to the bathroom we went to change back into our clothes. Dave told me he and the boys had just walked up to the pool, stuck their feet in, and the whistle blew.
He had to beg to get his money back, and they finally decided to give it back to him. I am glad we weren't 10 minutes earlier, and gotten in the pool, because we probably wouldn't have gotten our money back then.
I thought it was kind of funny, but the kids were pretty sad about it. I guess we just weren't meant to go swimming!
