The first weekend in July we got rain for the first time this year. Just in time for the outdoor parades, BBQs and fireworks. It doesn't usually rain a ton here in the dessert, but for the last few weeks it has been raining almost everynight. The lightning/thunder storms have been exciting too. The girls like sitting outside under our porch watching the lightning and hearing the thunder. So that the girls weren't scared I told them the thunder was a roaring lion in the sky. One morning after a huge storm, we were on our way to school when Whitney must have noticed that the sky was clear and said, "Mom, there's no clouds anymore, the lions went back to the zoo." I though that was so cute. Along with the rain we've seen lots of rainbows too.
