Can you say Tsunami!?

I can't believe I forgot my favorite part of the weekend!

 

If you know me, you know I LOVE thunderstorms and rain. Despite beautiful weather during the day, I walked into my room Saturday night to find it flashing like there were paparazzi outside my window! After I quickly discarded that and a few other ideas (mainly because I'm not aware of being famous, and I'm on the 2nd story) I quickly realized it was lightening! I called all the girls into my room, and they told me they get sudden tsunamis here pretty often. This one was really small, more like a lightening storm, but awesome, nonetheless. We all bundled up in sweatshirts, took a blanket out, and sat on my balcony watching the storm; Hailey on my lap, and the other girls lined up next to me. I've never seen so much lightening in my life! A flash lighting up the buildings bright as day, followed by a chorus of "OoOoOOoo!" More thunder and rain with smaller flashes. Then a huge bolt right above our heads ("AaaAAaHhhhh!!!!!!") with thunder rumbling through our bones! We sat out watching for a good 45 minutes until the lighting, thunder, wind, and rain finally settled down. I have some really cute pictures of all of us out there in our hoodies.

 

The girls went on and on about how fun watching the storm was. Haley even came into my room tonight to say goodnight, adding in a very decided manner, "next time they's a stowm, and..and..and next time you will stay the night, then we watch it. Okay!?" I wholeheartedly agreed, though she was more informing me than asking. She was sure to clarify "and, and I sit on yow lap, okay? Okay!?" Her little toothy grin upon my compliance confirmed it...it's never too early to teach 'em to love the rain!
