Thursday

Welcome to the tropics! The weather is crazy! We woke up (at 5:40 — that 6:30 bedtime last night came back to haunt me) to pouring rain. It continued to rain until mid-morning, so at Ezra’s request we watched Willy Wonka again. This time Finn stayed awake the whole time and enjoyed it as well. Except for the part where Charlie and Grandpa Joe float up toward the big fan. Very scary. At least they had a good cuddle spot for movie viewing.

Anyhoo, when it finally looked like this outside …

Sunny morning

… we hit the pool. We got in a good hour and a half.

Ezra found some lizards in the bushes surrounding the pool. This one seemed to be looking for flowers to eat, but then he just sat there for about 20 minutes. Lazy bum.

This little guy just seemed to be seeking some shade.

At a little after noon the sun disappeared behind the clouds and we realized a storm was a-comin’.

Storm clouds ahead!

We got in the house just in time!

Storm!

Here’s a brief video.

The sun broke through a couple more times in the afternoon, but not for long so we didn’t get a second swim in. The boys kept themselves busy in other ways.

I’m enjoying the crazy weather, but do hope we get some clear days too!
