Hilarious Rainfall!

As if the rain didn't already have me convinced that it was the most awesome thing ever, it just earned some more cool points for making me laugh! I hope I don't forget today. In fact, as it was happening my first thought, "Dang, I wish Corky was home from work to see this!" I swear, the funny stuff always happens during the day.

It's been a little cloudy today but it hasn't rained at all, so after a trip to the grocery store, the girls resumed their playing outside. I kept the door to the open garage open so I could hear them outside if anything was needed. As I was putting groceries away, I hear a big thunder and all of the sudden the clouds just dropped the rain! I run to the garage to see the girls running and screaming towards the house. Gracey on her bike and Emily on foot! Luckily both were laughing as I cheered them on to the safety of the garage. They were soaked!!

Wouldn't you know it? Emily loses a shoe about 20 yards away from the house, having to turn around to get it.

I was dying! It was so funny. Now they are in the garage daring each other to run out to the driveway, neither one of them hesitating!


I also hear this conversation:

Emily - "We didn't get rain like that in Kingman!"

Gracey - "Sometimes we did but not very often!"

Emily - "Well, it wasn't this hard!"

Gracey - "Or this cold!"

Love those girls of mine!

I remember those rainstorms when we lived in Texas--they were my boys' favorite!
