Heaps and Heaps of Rain

We've had record breaking rain in the last 10 days.  Normally we high desert dwellers never complain about rain, but there has been so much that the ground literally can't hold another drop and we get floods every time we have even a tiny shower now.

The kids have made the most of the less dangerous showers (some are so bad we all just have to stay inside).  A couple days ago I spied our neighbor kicking and splashing and FFM dashed out to join in the fun.  He wanted to put on his swimming suit and join Dylan in the gutter, but since it was nearly bedtime he made do with giant stomping splashes. It didn't show up well, but the water was actually flowing all around him and over his feet.

 On the nights we get a sunset, it's pretty spectacular.
