When it looks like this outside, you know you'd better take cover!The Chicago Tribune captured this dramatic photo of the storm clouds over Soldier Field this afternoon, shortly after the storm had passsed through Oak Park.
We thought we were in for a hot, sunny day. Drew was looking for playmates. I had just checked the online weather forecast, which predicted absolutely no rain until well after dark. Drew started calling friends to see if someone could come over and play catch. All of the sudden it got very, very dark outside.
This is what true "lake effect" weather is all about. Cold air from Lake Michigan began swirling around oppressively hot, humid air and a very intense, 90-minute thunderstorm ensued. So much for playing catch!
So, what to do with unexpected rain? Invite the Renny family over to make a batch of those perfect chocolate chip cookies. Add Emm&R to the mix, and it was a blast!
R thoroughly enjoyed the cookies, and got almost as much on his face as he did in his mouth!
