Wet

So, Wednesday we had a huge storm hit Greeley (something like 3-4 inches in an hour or so) and many people had flooded basements (not ours, happily).

On Friday, we took the boys to Elitch's and the first thing they wanted to do was ride the water ride (basically, you go down a big hill into water that sprays about 200 feet in the air and then you stand on the bridge after you get out of your boat so the next wall of water hits you, too).

This is how they looked:

After that, they wanted to spend most of the rest of the day at the water park part of Elitch's and Tracy and I lounged out as they played (not a bad day at all). When the sun went down, we went on a few more rides before another storm rolled in and sent us home even wetter than the water ride.
Saturday Tracy left on a business trip and the boys and I just recovered from an exhausting Friday by swimming a little and then renting the Water Horse movie on OnDemand. I was shocked because it was actually pretty darn good.
Sunday we went to Fort Morgan for a family reunion which was very nice and pretty toasty so the boys enjoyed splashing around in the Fort Morgan pool (which is pretty huge!). The pool closed when somebody spotted a floater (unlike Caddyshack, it wasn't a candybar ... sorry for the mental picture). But storms were rolling in also and we drove home through another gully-washer.
But then when we got home, this was the view out our front door ...
