Rain In June

Yesterday was Saturday, June 6th, the day of the Ronald McDonald House Walk, benefiting the local Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House. Nick and I walked it last year out at Lake Ming and it was hot! This year was different. This year it was held at CALM (California Animal Living Museum). So, when we opened our front door at 7:50 a.m. and stepped outside we were not expecting fabulously pleasant weather. But, it was, in fact it felt like we were at the beach. The air was cool and fresh and the sky had several clouds overhead. As we started to drive the trek across town to participate in the Walk for Kids event we realized that the clouds in the sky near CALM were dark and low and may possibly be raining. We were not prepared for rain. I assumed that it would be hot, so I dressed Maddy in a tank top, a skirt, and sandals. When we arrived at CALM it was raining. Luckily it only rained for about 30 minutes. The following are pictures from our morning at CALM.
