Who says you have to stay inside when it rains? I see it as a chance for an adventure!! Well, we had friends in town last weekend so we thought it would be a fun adventure to go on a hike despite the rainy and cold weather. So we geared up with rain jackets and grubby clothes and set out for hike up Bishop's Peak. At the start of the hike it was lightly raining and it was actually enjoyable as we walked through the trees.
Towards the middle of the hike, it was like the heavens opened up and the sun came out illuminating some awesome clouds. We knew it wouldn't last too long because we could see more rain coming in the distance...
We enjoyed the sunshine (while it lasted) and made it up to the top and climbed up to some boulders and stood atop the peak. It was super windy and freeeezing but worth the view.
Bobby politely told me that I looked like a raisin head.

With a storm lurking in the distance, we decided to start hiking back so we could make it down before the clouds reached us again.....didn't work out so well...
As we started the decent, the clouds came in faster than we anticipated....
and we started getting pelted by rain and hail. Yes hail. and at that point we decided to put the camera away and run down the mountain. By this point we were soaking wet but we were all smiles embracing the adventure that we were on. Getting caught in a rain/hailstorm is definitely fun once in a while and made for good memories!
With the hike behind us, we didn't feel so bad about spending the rest of the day relaxing and sitting in a warm coffee shop playing cards :)
I think there is more rain coming this weekend so who knows what kind of adventure will present itself! Especially when I have an awesome husband to explore with!
