rain, rain go away...

in santa maria, we are used to warmer, sunnier weather, but for the last 5 days we have had rain... NOTHING but rain. we are not used to this much rain, and our cities are not ready for this much rain, so there has been a lot of flooding and unfortunately many car accidents. our house has had really no damage other than a little bit of water on the edge of the rug near our slider in our bedroom. there has also been some fun with the rain. in sam sam and papa's backyard, there is a HUGE puddle. last night when we were over for dinner and usually after dinner papa and the kids go for a soak. last night was no different, but this time they took turns between soaking and playing in the puddle. they were having so much fun, even papa joined in.
