I miss how awesome it smells after rain in the Valley! I'm closing my eyes and remembering it right now!

I was wondering if a Desert Boy has rain gear. Thank goodness for irrigating boots!

[Image]On Monday we had some wonderful rain. It brought the temperatures down considerably. It's been weeks and weeks since we've had rain, so it was great to hear the pitter-patter against the window panes. [Image]But then we got some hail--that wasn't quite such a nice sound. [Image]The little dandelion managed to survive the hail. We had storms throughout the day, with lots of lightning and thunder. [Image]Late in the afternoon, Desert Boy got suited up with his irrigating boots and we went out to splash in puddles. [Image]He particularly wanted to jump in the puddles. [Image]It didn't take him long to get wet. Very wet. Especially when he fell down. [Image]He would have played a lot longer, but it was a bit chilly and he eventually decided he wanted to go in and get warm. What? A toddler with a modicum of common sense? What is this world coming to? Here's a video of Desert Boy in action:

He's almost got that jumping skill down.

Swimming! We really need rain. Haven't had it in almost a month.
