Rain, Rain, Go Away...

So I hear from my pals in California that it has been raining non-stop for days and days... They are on the verge of organizing themselves to start building an Arc!

All their complaining about rain reminded me that I forgot to post about the one rainy day we had at Disneyland. It was the day of Mazlow's birthday (St. Patrick's Day), and it only rained during the afternoon, but no one wanted to leave the park (us or the other billion people there), so all the shops in Disneyland were selling these silly plastic ponchos.

The ponchos looked like giant clear garbage bags with hoods, only they were screen-printed with a huge full-color Mickey Mouse on the back. Once people figured out that the rain wasn't going to stop (and neither were the rides) everyone started purchasing the ponchos (~$6/each) so everywhere you looked there were walking plastic poncho covered adults, children, and strollers.

We had to buy 6 of them for just our family. I wonder how much extra money Disneyland made that day on poncho sales. Probably thousands!

By nightfall, the rain had stopped, and the ponchos were shoved hastily into a plastic bag, never to emerge again.

Hopefully the rain we are all experiencing will be a distant memory soon - just like those silly Mickey Mouse Ponchos from Disneyland.
