Downpour ...


One afternoon ... we had a complete downpour.  Which is unusual in Colorado.

I guess that's considered a flash flood?

I was in the kitchen and look out and Eli was out there.

I love moments like this.  Where I am reminded that I still have a little boy.  A little boy who is content to play in the rain by himself.

At first he was trying to fill the recycle can full of water.  Why?  Not sure.

He found a pair of rubber boots that were 10 sizes too big for him .. but clearly were serving a purpose.

Then he brought out one of his longboards that he had taken the wheels off of.

This became a surfboard.

The rain didn't last very long.  But just long enough for Eli to play in the rain ... and me to capture that moment in time.

You are such a total opposite to my mom. I used to play in the puddle in front of our house when it rained, too. But then my mom would scream at me and make me take off my pants when I came in the house and walk to my room in my underwear. She was convinced that my wet jean cuffs would somehow disolve the carpet.

I love that boy! This is where he and ENOCH are alike. Enoch loves doing random stuff like that. Travis would have thought I was crazy to even consider asking him to do something like that. HAHA. Love Eli and I love these photos! :D
