Playing in the Rain

Sam, a high school senior taking classes at Asbury, gave me a ride to Southland (church) this morning. He picked me up this morning in his old, black volvo. His volvo has lots of bumper stickers on it -I love it. They say things like "give peace a chance" and "God is not a democrat or a republican." We went to church and his family and Kelsey (a friend of his from HS) and her family all met us there. We all went out for Zaxby's after church, his family bought me lunch. Then we went to his house and bounced on the trampoline for a bit; he tried to teach me how to do a front flip, though didn't succeed. We planned on going to Questapalooza, a festival thing at a nearby church, but he had homework, so he drove me back to Glide-Crawford. On our way back, it began to rain really hard, Sam said "I realy want to play in the rain." I replied, "I haven't played in the rain in ages." So he pulls over into a small parking lot next to a field of horses, we get out of the car, run barefoot to the field, and try to coax the horses over to us and then we petted them. It was really fun. He said he would call me when he finished his homework and that he would come pick me up for the festival, which ends at 10pm.
