Storms in the Desert

Yesterday afternoon the rain poured down on CVE in powerful torrents that could only cause one to go and run in the rain. The kids (and some staff) enjoyed the downpour by prancing around, riding bikes and rolling around in puddles.


Uriel bikes through the rain, soaking anyone brave enough to get near him.

Michael runs through the puddles. He later laid down and did his "horse impression."

Steph had this great idea of coming out under the cover of a kiddie pool. I was a little wet but ran to join her when suddenly the kids attacked and toppled us!


The boys enjoy the rain and the rivers it left behind


Paola enjoys the fruit of Joel's labor as she stands under our new gutter.

"Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit." -Leviticus 26:4

Looks like fun!!! It's great that you're letting the kids have a blast getting wet and muddy! What a refreshing gift God sent you and us as we've got 1 1/2" in the last couple days also.
Love ya,
Jill
