Rainy days

We woke up Saturday morning to an awesome thunderstorm. The rain is so welcome in the summer because it really cools it off out there (for a very short period of time). After the thunder and lightning stopped the kids wanted to play in the rain because the street was all flooded, so we let them. They had so much fun running through the gutter and they even talked their dad into playing with them. After they were done I made them all shower immediately to get all that nasty gutter water off them.

**I tried to upload a couple of pictures also, but kept getting errors. I'll try again later.

We used to LOVE to play at the local park on flood irrigation days. I shudder to think of what we were playing in, but it was so much fun! These kinds of memories will last forever with your kids. How fun!

That looks so fun, we talked about doing the same thing, but while it was still rainging and tons of lightening, we should have gone out later!!
