It's Raining, It's Pouring

So when we lived in Sparks it never rained. If it did, it was really rare. We have had so many cool thunder storms already since living here. We love them for more than one reason. One, we aren't used to them and they are so cool to watch. Second, it cools things off. We don't mind that part one bit. On Sunday we had a doosey all day actually. It would storm for a while, stop then storm like crazy again. The kids loved playing in the flooded streets all day. Greta was of course in heaven.

Showing off her dance moves in the rain. Cute girl.

Watching the lightning (it wasn't close at this time)

This is actually after it chilled out a bit. It was flooded across the whole road

I sat on our step taking pics asking if the water was cold. I soon found out it wasn't bad when it puddled our front walk way.

Our power went out for a few hours. It happened to be right before I was gonna cook dinner. So much for that. PB&J it was. Along with a veggie tray. Not an ideal sunday meal, but we had to improvise. Our veggie tray actually had carrots, celery, and pickles on it too. This pic is the left overs.

So what do you do when your power goes out?.....

Golf of course. :) It had to be done right by the window for some light.

We then attempted a shadow puppet show with the only crappy flash light we could round up. It could have been better, but Gabe thought it was great.
