Puddle Jumping

I finally caught up on blogging our trip and we are back into our routine. On Saturday, we finally took Owen to see the new Spiderman movie he has been dying to see.  It did not disappoint.  The girls loved it just as much as Owen, but Dr Connors won the show.  Owen loves the Lizardman!

We walked around the outdoor mall by our house and did a little window shopping, but it was so sunny and hot.  Welcome back to the desert.  As soon as we got home and ate a little lunch, I got a warning on my cell phone about a flash flood warning.  I got a good laugh out of that because it was SO hot and sunny out.  Sure enough, just a few minutes later there was a full downpour.  It flooded our street and even hailed a bit. 

We are desert dwellers and obviously don't see too much rain, so the kids went crazy.  They couldn't wait to get outside to play in the flooded street.

We saw this little toady swimming around in the water.  Certainly not something we see everyday.

Tate, Kam, Ry and Owen had a blast. I'll never get over how little Owen's legs are.  They played outside for a while and then came right inside for a bath. All that icky muddy water was gross.

We rounded out our weekend with a lazy Sunday.  Owen was not feeling like himself and so we took a 3 hour nap on Sunday together.  I'm happy to say he is back to himself this beautifully, sunny Monday!  This week will be full of cleaning out closets, bathrooms and back to school shopping.  I am so sad that we only have three more weeks of summer vacation.
