Yes and boy did we have some lousy weather today! Thunder and lightening all night and part of the day. At least it kept the temperature down for a change.

The boys ventured out to tennis camp in Christ Church, against my advice, and promptly were returned and 10:30am. Maybe we'll get better weather late tomorrow in time for Destiny's arrival on Wednesday.:) Who knows?:confused:
