Yesteday afternoon we finally a some relief from our drought. It really poured after I got home. Luckily Missy and Serif arrived just before it started. We had fun watching the rain come down but then Serif wanted to go out and play in the water.

There was really a strong current running in the gutter. Missy and Serif are checking it out.
Then I get the cheesy grin from Serif. Don't you just love the panda umbrella?

The kids next door were making boats out of leaves and sticks. They let Serif join in the fun.

She picked out some really good leaves for her boats.
Of course some times they needed a little help on their way.
Never fear Mommy was keeping a close watch on everyone.
It was so wonderful to see my grandaughter playing the same games in the same spots that her mother played at that age.

I'm not sure you can see but her shorts are soaked from her sitting in the water.
Here they are discussing the the merits of the different leaves. We all had a lot of fun. It's hard to believe that she is getting so big.
