Rain, Rain Go Away – Happy 4th of July
Jul 3 2007

It seems like it’s been raining here in Texas pretty much non-stop for the last several weeks.  I’ve never seen so much rain the entire time I’ve lived in Austin, which has been 14 years on and off.  I just got back home (now I’m in the home office) after a lunch meeting.  It was drizzling with the sun breaking through the clouds for the last couple of hours and now it’s pouring!  We have had record levels of rain, the lakes are high, AND they have canceled 4th of July Fireworks shows around town due to excessive rain.  People can’t even go boating on the lakes.  If this keeps up they could have filmed Evan Almighty here and saved a bunch of money! 🙂

We will be heading to a friend’s house who lives on the lake for their annual 4th of July party (despite there being no fireworks tonight) this evening so hopefully the rain will let up a bit for the kids to run around outside and play.

Here are some pictures of the rain that was just coming down outside of our house….
