Fifty percent?

Last evening's beautiful weather faded away overnight, and the morning brought cloudy skies once again, with a slight drizzle to start our day.  But it sure is hard to be too upset with the weather when one is greeted with this smiling face early in the morning:


The weather has never been a hindrance to fishermen in this family, so the guys headed out the door early to the beach while this little guy and I had some fun in the kitchen.


The weather prediction was 50% rain with a chance of thunderstorms, but I figured that meant that it could be 50% sun....right?

So rather than dwell on the negative, I convinced the little guy to make a trip down to the beach to check out the fish story.

He was adamant that he was not going off the steps since the tide was high, and I can't blame him since yesterday's giant wave had been quite scary....even for me!  So, we played it safe and checked out the fisherman from the steps.


The excitement started within minutes when Grandpa G caught a fish!


And we just had to go down and take a peek ourselves at the catch!


Believe me when I tell you that the photo makes this fish look much larger than real life!  

But, the tide was creeping up even higher, and we decided to head back to the house for awhile.

Within an hour, the weather changed for the better part of that 50% and the whole crew ended up heading to the beach for the entire afternoon.  We couldn't have asked for a better day!


 The kids had a great time

And so did the adults.  

The only one who seemed a bit anxious about today's activities was this little guy:


But we parted friends.....or let's just say that we didn't become enemies.

Tomorrow's forecast is 50% rain with a possible thunderstorm.  Wonder what that will bring?
