Rain, rain go away. Come back when my kids are in school. Honestly, I am trying to be grateful. I know we need the moisture and all but sheesh. I don't know how much more my garden can take. A week or so ago, we had an amazing rain storm. Non-stop lightning, hard rain, hard hail, and more rain. Lots of people in our area had basement flooding, some severe. I'm grateful we didn't.
Here are a couple of pictures of the hail. I wish I had got my video camera out. The water on our street looked like a river. It was flowing clear over our curb and gutter.
My friend Michelle and I (she's the awesome cake decorator) also finished up this craft on Friday. We did it all ourselves, cutting, painting, sanding, everything. I had a pattern, but we changed it up to suit us and I think they turned out even cuter. These two are mine, one for me, one for my good friend who is moving. I don't have a picture of Michelle's, but check it out on her blog. It is so cute. We had a lot of fun doing this, using some tools I don't normally use.

This week, we made a day trip to Idaho Falls to go to the zoo. It was per Chases' summer request. It was so good to get out of the house. 
It did rain, but we got to the zoo between storms and it was actually great weather for that. We met my mom and she took us to lunch and joined us at the zoo.
I guess Kenna hasn't to the zoo in her memory, because she was scared many of the animals would come out to eat her. She did ask me to take this picture of her with the monkey. She said he was sitting there to see her. 
When we went into the petting zoo, some kids were taking a goat on a walk, She was scared to death of the goat. It was funny. She didn't want to go in and pet them. Whenever Chase stopped petting this goat, it would yell at him. 
It was fun to drive around and see our old favorite place and check out our house.

Connor went Friday on some scout thing called an Ordeal. He can home happy and in one piece, so I guess it wasn't to bad. He did sleep in the rain, and did six hours of service. He is now a member of the order of the arrow. I don't know what that is but he thinks it's pretty cool.
