Lightning and Thunder and Rain...Oh My!!!

This picture is from 2/2005, he is now 5 1/2. Don't get me wrong, he would still do this!

It has finally happened! Rain in So. Cal. The last time I remember it really raining was last March, when my friend Michele, from Utah, was vacationing at Disneyland. Yes, it has been a loooong time. It started raining Friday just as Paige's soccer practice was finishing and continued through the night. Around 8:30pm Paige came up and told me that it was either thundering (is that a word?) or a truck was going by. My poor California kids never get to see lightning and thunder. Later she wanted to look for lightning, and I told her that I was sure it was far away and probably wouldn't be able to see it. She proved me wrong! It wasn't the magnificent shows you see elsewhere, but she loved it. After she got in bed she said now I have seen a lightning and thunder storm, a lunar eclipse and a meteor shower. she was excited. We told her in the past that while we were in Philly we would get fun lighting and thunder storms. One in particular in the middle of the night lit up the sky and then shook our 30 story apt. building. She came running down the hall as fast as she could and jumped into bed with us (she was probably 3). She pulled the covers over her head and after a few minutes of her not moving we thought she had fallen asleep. We tried to pull the cover back down and she said "pull them back up!" She loves to talk about that story! It is pouring again outside! Yeah!
