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.

Looks like you're managing to keep busy. The zoo is always fun and you got to see grandma too! Fun. I have to admit the rain has not been quite "so" fun. I was so looking forward to spending time outside while Dom was here.
I think the flowers turned out really well! And what a fun reminder of good friendship. It's always fun to do something creative. (Ps I like your new songs on the blog:0)
Gee, I wonder who the friend could be???? Who's basement is that in the first pic? Looks like you guys had a great time in IF.
Funny, we haven't had rain in Seattle for almost a month (until yesterday) must have all gone your way instead. We've been loving the sunshine but I found myself wishing for the rain. Haven't been to see your blog for a bit. It was fun to catch up. Can't beleive Kenna is 5! They grow up so fast. Sounds like your summer is off to a good start. Ours just started today I guess since it was the last day of school.

There sure has been a lot of rain this June....it's been kind of nice :) I think it has now gone away, though. Get ready to be HOT! Looks like you guys had fun in IF...always fun to go back to places you used to live and visit your old stomping grounds. Cute flowers!
