It's raining it's POURING!












I don't normally get so excited about rainstorms, nor do I usually stop to take pictures, but this I had to share with everyone. Let's rewind to earlier that day. The sun was shining and we had spent time at the pool with friends. It was beautiful weather and very warm. Around 4 p.m. out of nowhere the rain started. Now this wasn't your typical storm where it drizzles a little, maybe some thunder, a little lightning-nope, just a full on downpour (notice the water literally shooting out of the gutter drains). Tommy had been out fertilizing the lawn and it definitely caught him off guard because as soon as I heard the loud downpour of water, I saw him racing up the sidewalk as quick as he could.By the time he reached the garage, he was pretty soaked. It was fun to stand in the garage with Ashton and see his reaction to all the rain. Even our neighbors and their kids came out to watch the action. It lasted a good 45 minutes until it died down to a light pitter patter. The sky eventually cleared, but we could still see a lot of lightning in the distance. All in all we are very thankful for the rain, and so is our grass :)
