This year in Utah, we have had an unusually wet year. One day, late in the summer, the rain came down so fast and hard that the drains couldn't handle it and water flooded the streets. The kids were so excited that they came running into the house wanting to know where the umbrellas were so they could go play in the rain and water. Well, because it rains so much in Utah (not!), I knew right where the umbrellas were (not!). But thankfully between us and the neighbors, we managed to track down a few of them.


They worked their way down the street, splashing as they went!


Eventually they discovered that the drain had a great suction to it if they put the umbrellas down on it.

Unfortunately, the suction was so strong that it broke the umbrellas. I guess the joy of singing in the rain was worth sacrificing a few umbrellas for! Thankfully we don't need them very often here!
