RAIN RAIN RAIN and then some more RAIN!!!

After 2 years of basically no rain we get one afternoon of rain and we end up with a full on river behind our house!!! Amazing!
"Bokay Kobate?" is one of the common greetings... "How's the rain affecting you?"
Some houses ended up in the river itself! It makes it hard to cook anything when your fire is in a puddle!

This is our house, out back is our own private lake!
We had invited some friends over for lunch, and even in the down pour they still came... so we spent the afternoon trying to get warm and dry!
Jillo was cold so we wrapped her up in Barbara's jumper! What a cutie!
Once the rain stopped we ventured out to check out the lagga (seasonal river).


Everyone was standing at a respectful distance (rivers=death)until Kevin came, he was a bad example and had them all playing in the river.


Lokho, Me and Nawesi on the bridge (it isn't really a functional bridge, ah well)
Guchi's first swimming lesson... she didn't drown so she passes!!!

We couldn't drive out to the Chalbi...
So we played in the mud instead.

Puddle jumping is NOT a common past time in Kalacha.
But it is still fun!
