Yes, we had a week of crazy storm weather. No, we didn't hide inside the whole time. We took advantage of the dry times and went walking down to the barranca to check out the water level. While on one of our walks we found butterflies trying to dry out. They couldn't fly because they were all wet and it was about to rain again, so we moved them from the sidewalk to the a sheltered spot. The kids were so happy to save the butterflies. Ashton and Alayna also really wanted to splash in puddles so we let them. OI! I mean, really? Ashton had so much fun he was sitting in the water. Yeah, they had to defrost after that. Gotta love the rain here in So Cal!
