rain hike and answered prayers

We went to the mountains with my brother's family, but it began pouring as soon as we drove to the area we wanted to walk around. We sat in our cars trying to figure out what to do, whether to just go home, or walk in the rain.

Apparently all the kids in my brother's car (yes, he was nice enough to drive all the kids in his car) decided to say a prayer to ask if the rain could stop. We didn't know about the prayer, but Chris finally said, "Let's just get out and take a picture, and then we'll go home."

As soon as we got out of the car, the rain stopped. We were able to get around the entire lake before it started up again. It was freezing and wet, but worth it.

 

While we were trying to figure out whether to go home or get wet, we spotted this big moose. Unfortunately, we were too slow and he walked away before we could get a decent picture.
