Don't let the rain get in the way of fun

This morning the weather looked wonderful so Momma and I took a walk down to the pavilion down by the beach.  

The afternoon and evening weather forecast didn't look very promising as the possibility of rain was pretty high so we decided to have a hot dog lunch at the pavilion before the rain.  With plenty of parking, 3 large picnic tables under a covered roof, it looked like an ideal spot for a gathering.

The true campers gathered at the pavilion and got settled in before the sky opened up and the thunder began......  

while the 'glampers'.....our 'fair weather friends' didn't join us.  I guess you can tell by the picture above, it rained pretty hard during the meal.  You can hardly make out the lake.  But being true campers, everyone took it in stride.

I wonder if all the wet weather had any influence on this wren's choice for nest location?

This little guy was gathering nesting material on top of the wheel fenders under our rig.

Tim has been using this chair daily. In other words, these birds worked quickly to gather this much nesting material in such a short time.  

Now me, I prefer a nice soft fluffy dog bed or comfy chair for my nest.
