Honeycrisp and Downpours

We made our annual trek out to Lynd's Fruit Farm to pick honeycrisp before they were all picked over the weekend.  Thankfully Mairin doesn't have school on Fridays and so we were able to have the place to ourselves.  It had been drizzling on and off on our drive to the apple farm but by the time we got there, the sun was out and the storms were off in the distance.  Or so we thought.......

After we picked our apples, Mairin wanted to go over to the fun zone for bouncy houses, a playground and the barrel train.  It looked dark in the distance and it started to drizzle but Mairn was adamant about riding the train before we left.  So I put her jacket over her head and put her on the train.  Little did I know that the sky was about to open up and the poor girl would be stuck on the train ride in a downpour.  It was awful.  The driver kept the ride going and took her through the scary corn maze in a dark monsoon.  She came out of the maze, she saw me and started hysterically crying.  I felt awful and was able to get the train to stop.  We rushed to the car, both soaking wet, and got home to a couple of hot showers as quickly as we could.  She'll probably never ride the barrel train again.  At least we got apples?

Before the typhoon.
