During Noah's birthday party with his friends, we were stuck inside for a while with one of the stongest downpours I've witnessed since moving to Abq. When it finally stopped raining and there was no more thunder, I let the kids outside to play. The big boys got soaked playing a game of backyard football. (Can you see the splashes happening in the middle of our yard?) The little ones enjoyed the two inches of water that collected under their swingset.
