Loving the "monsoon season" this year. We have afternoon storm clouds most days and many times we get a little rain. Well, on the 4th we had crazy torrential rain, hail, thunder, and lightning. It went on for about 30 minutes and before we knew it there was sunny skies. Suddenly Christopher runs into the house and asks if he can get his swimsuit on. The empty lot down the street is full of water. So I scoop up the girls and this is what we found!
It was about 2 1/2 ft deep in the middle at first. There is a drain so it was slowly going lower.
We couldn't believe how fast word got around and how many kids and teenagers came out to play in it.
Christopher and his friends liked riding their bikes and scooters through it.
Xander took one look at the water and would not go in. He said it looked "GROSS!".
Darci, on the other hand, dove right in. So did Eliza. I ended up having to put the camera down and keep right on top of her or she would dive right UNDER. It took a couple of hours before this little pool was completely gone.

I love it. How very fun that they could enjoy this makeshift pool! The pictures are so cute and it makes me miss Utah. We get the thunderstorms and lightening and downpour of rain here but it is still 95 degrees outside before, during, and after so we get to enjoy the steam that comes up from the ground!
Reminds me of the stuff we used to do growing up :)
