Yes, it rained today... and poured cats and dogs for about 1.5 hours. Lots of thunder and lightening. It was wonderful!
After a little apprenhension, Eva took to the rain like... a frog. Chloe took a little longer to convince, but sure enough, she too, gave up the umbrella and ran crazy up and down the curb... We even went across the street to a circle drive so that they could just be crazy.
After all this splashing, they both ended up cold, very wet, and carrying puddles of their very own inside their little boots. It was so incredibly fun though. I wish it rained like this more often. The weather dropped about 20 degrees, for sure!

Our backyard is just dirt, so that was off limits during the rain today. Our pool and play house almost blew away under the windy circumstances, and Brian accidentally left the car window down during the entire thing (yes, the new car) - sideways rain and all! But, no wiggly, woggly, spooky lookin things were staring us down at our porch like they did at Valle Vista on windy days. Thank heavens for 'city' life!

Wasn't the rain just wonderful?!? We had fun, too. I think you will see that it will rain like that a bit more often. Growing up here, the monsoon season was one of my favorites! I love being able to play in the rain when it's not freezing cold!
