This last week we got more rain than we got in all of 2009 combined. I loved it!! Although, I have realized I could never live somewhere like Oregon (Ben just told me I shouldn't say things like that because then he'll end up getting a job there). I think I enjoyed the rain so much because we would be getting sun again soon. I went out and took pictures of the flooding that we had.
This is the park just down the street from our house.
This is the same park. I took this picture because I thought it was really funny that they still had the sprinklers coming on even though the park was totally flooded.
This is going into the park right next door to our house. The night before I took this the water was clear to the top of the hill but it had soaked in a little bit before I got this picture.
This last picture is the park/wash behind my work. It had turned into a real river instead of an empty wash. Those are ducks down there swimming around in it.We have lived in Arizona for 4 1/2 years and I have never seen rain like this, even during monsoon season. I took most of these pictures Friday morning. The park down the street from us was completely empty of flooding by Saturday morning when I drove past. Thus are the joys of the rain in Arizona.

Wow! Why can't it ever be spread out so it will really soak in and wet things down for a longer period of time? I guess that's AZ for you!
Holy Water Batman!!! I think that would be exciting to have such extrememe weather like that. Maybe I'm just waiting for our big Snowstorm here.
Wow, and it is not even monsoon season yet. Man we miss that fun little park!
That's fun to look at. I guess we wont come visit this year, you can keep your floods.
That is indeed the coolest water park I've ever seen. Just imagine coming off the end of that slide!
WOW!...is all I can say! Wait until Monsoon season!
