One of Vegas' finest natural wonders must be the summer thunderstorms that start rolling through this time of year. We love them! First the clouds come, then the wind starts howling like mad, and finally the rain. Usually they're those giant drops that sting when they hit your face. Ahhhhhh. The temperature drops at least 10-15 degrees, making it a comfortable 95 (sense the sarcasm). With the wet and the wind, even 95 doesn't feel too bad. We're currently in a run of afternoon storms and it has been heavenly. Of course, the kids can't get enough.

While other "normal" children run for rainboots and umbrellas, mine say, "Get the goggles and towels!" Oh boy. Las Vegas blood through and through. We wouldn't want water to get in our eyes now, would we?

It made for some great super hero adventures in the rain.

And then there was Claire. She loves "weather" about as much as fireworks. This isn't anything new as you can see here. One of these days...

she'll realize life is kinda fun after all.
