Storms Storms Storms

We seem to not have a shortage of rain here. It seems lately that it is hot & humid or stormy with high winds. Even the kids are wondering why it is raining so much...isn't it summer? Why can we play outside? Well, a thunderstorm is a reason to stay in. Winds of 60 mph is another reason to stay in- little Larsie would be blown away in the wind at that rate. Now I have small branches and one big one littering the backyard. I have offered the kids a quarter to help pick them up tomorrow. They love coins right now and will do lot to earn them. Let's see how long this lasts! Meanwhile, bring on summer go away rain!

Jumping in the Rain




The other day I was sitting on the porch and Bret cajoled Lars into coming ou tto play in the rain. It did not take long for my little guy long to take the leap into the stream of rainwater running off of my roof. Ella was much more reserved and possibly got one run it. Bret and Lars were drenched in their silliness!

Pardon the sideways video- I turned my camera and I forgot you can't adjust the video on here like you can on the Flip. I need to stick with my Flip!
