Mommy when is it going to Rain?

Alexis has been asking for over a month why it never rains here. When I told her it does rain sometimes she has of course been asking, "when is it going to rain Mommy?" Great question. Nevada, like so many other states right now, is in a severe time of drought. Wow, yes it really is a desert, imagine that! So right after our first heat wave of over 100 degrees the heavens opened and Vegas has experienced rain for two days strait. The girls love seeing the rain and playing in the puddles and I love that it is not so hot! (I'm all for keep it as cool as possible for as long as possible)

We live up on a hill so we got some great rivers of water. The girls were both a little apprehensive about the river and Ariana even told Justin "It's scary Daddy." Well when the most water you see is in the bath tub I can only imagine how strange the river on the road looks.

Quickly they decided they loved the water and Ariana loved it so much she did not want to get out of it. Our whole family took a walk in the rain and Ariana walked in the water the entire time!
