When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

Right? So, I'm thinking when God gives you floods in the summertime, you put your kids in bikinis & go swimming in it. :-)

I'm a summer girl. I love summer. I love the heat, I love flip flops, bright sun, long days. I love spending the day out in the sun & feeling sticky with sweat, then coming inside, showering & putting on a clean white tank. I just do. It's weird, but true. (See...this is one of those moments where I'm divulging too much info. Haha!)

So, as much as I really am enjoying all this rain (though I don't wish for flooding for anyone,) I do kinda feel a little ripped off. (I'm sure I'll be taking that back come mid-July.) I'm just kinda ready to get the girls' swimming pool set up for good. I'm ready for grilling out, getting some sun...you know...summertime stuff. But, it's not happening.

Today, though, I thought, "well...there's no thunder or lightning. Let's embrace the rain, have a little fun." So, I told the girls to go get their swimsuits on, we're going outside!

We live on a hill, so all this water was just running off down the hill toward all the areas you see in my previous post. The girls had such a good time playing in it. :-)
This girl LOVED bear crawling against the flow. Haha! I don't know why. She's in a world of her own.
