It was a crazy idea, take the kids to Disneyland in the middle of a bad rain storm. After convincing my too cool for school kids that rain poncho’s were VERY cool and fashionable- off we went. Things were manageable, and actually fun for a while. And I marveled at all the other insane people at the park that day too. Then, just before the kids ran off to ride Autotopia, a DOWNPOUR came. And never left. See the photo of the Disneyland guy standing there in the rain? He had his eyes closed. Like he was wishing he would open them and be in his dry warm home. So the boys rode while holding an umbrella and insisted it was fun and they weren’t cold. They aren’t the best liars…so we headed for the front gate. And that was when he heard the announcement “due to extreme weather conditions, Disneyland will be closing early today”. Apparently even Disneyland thought we were a little insane to be there.
That is not a scratchy photo. That is RAIN pouring down. WOW. 
By the time we made it back to the car we were SOAKED. Even with the ponchos, jackets and umbrellas. Just soaked. Well, except my feet. Seriously- can I give a shout out to Sorel for these killer boots? (this is a better photo of them). And since it will be raining ALL WEEK I plan to wear these boots every waking moment.
