Throw Back Thursday
Fun times in the Rain

The remnants of a Hurricane came through AZ.  It has happened a few times now, and everytime one comes up through the Gulf of California the news tells us that there will be lots of rain.  We get so excited and then become disappointed that there wasn't a lot of rain.  The people in AZ love their rain and a jealous when other in the valley get rain and they don't.  I talking about good rain that don't cause floods or damage.  No one wants that and we truly feel for those that receive that kind of damage.  When it rains, we stop everything we are doing and go outside to play.  Rain doesn't happen often in Mesa, so when it does, we need to go out and celebrate.  Besides, we have a new roof we need to check out. 

When it rains, my kids go look for their coats to put on.  It's not cold, but it's raining, so they feel coats are needed.  There is often a lot of water by our driveway, so after the rain, the kids love to play in the water.  Dams are usually built with rocks and leaves  The rainstorms are short, so there is only a small window to play in the water.  Here are some great memories made while playing in the rain,
I'm really missing the rain right now
