We have been chanting for the rain to go away for a couple of days now. The skies have opened up so much that our pool has filled to overflowing, there is a new lake in the back yard and we have a pile of muddy soled shoes in the front hallway. And that is just the rain. The wind storm that tore through here yesterday and kept setting off the house alarms of everyone we know (or at least those that have electric fences - with the trees constantly being pushed into the wires in so many places it just overloads the system and it goes off) was epic. But at least all the leaves are now off the trees at our house which will make for only one more raking up of those strays. Too bad it also brought down quite a few branches too.
Once it finally stopped raining this afternoon we thought we would get out of the stuffy house we had been cooped up in and take a family walk.
This is what that walk looked like...

 |
| No rain but we brought the umbrellas just in case. Of course, they were a good toy too. |
 |
| We may have to go sledding in that mountain top next weekend. |
 |
| We ran to let off pent up energy... |
 |
| We peeked at ourselves in puddles... |
 |
| We hung around for a bit when we got tired of walking. |
 |
| And we were all smiling at the end. |
