November 1st gave us some long-awaited rain!! Really, has it been a year? I don't remember the last rain and we are in a serious drought, so this was amazing for us and for the ground. It took us a while to gather our rain gear from out of the tubs in the garage. We only had one raincoat and one umbrella but we all 3 had boots! We pulled ourselves together and were out the door in time to enjoy about 5 minutes of it before it all went away. Yep, that's rain for us. Still, it was coming down harder than a sprinkle and the boys loved every second of it. :)
Kyle was so cute to make sure Gavie was covered.
The gutters and storm drains were where all the action was.
We went through quite a few changes of clothes as you can see from Gavie's idea of fun. A break in the clouds couldn't damper this boy's spirit!
The entire day was in the 60's!!! Woo hoo for fall! We even got to light a fire in our fireplace both at night and early the next morning.
Amazing. Unfortunately, we were quickly back up into the upper 80's. Still, even just a day or so of cooler weather was so nice.
Then, today we woke up to some real wind, as in once or twice a year kind of wind! The boys went out in their airplane boxes and zoomed around...
...and then Rudy made "balloon kites" for the boys.
The boys squealed and squealed. Both Rudy and I recognize how weather deprived our kids are, so we loved getting this opportunity to watch them enjoy something so rare.
