Summer Storms

After baths on Saturday night we had a lovely thunder and lightning storm to watch.  The kids lined up on the bed to watch the fascinating display of power.
 I always enjoy watching a good thunder and lighting storm, and this one didn't disappoint.




 We watched rapid fire lightning for quite some time and when the wind and rain picked up we shut the window and moved to the other side of the house so the rain wouldn't blow in the open window.  The  kids sat on the headboard of their bed with the window open and enjoyed torrential downpours.  That is a novelty here. :)

Eventually the worst of the storm passed by and we retired for the night. (Well, most of us did.) We drifted off to sleep to the sound of distant thunder rumbling.

We have not had one of those in a long time. It would be fun to as the kids are very into Thunder Head clouds right now and a bit scared of the idea of thunder for some reason. (I think we heard a story about someone getting hit by lightening) It is so amazing to watch! ~ SJo
