rain

We're still staying put here enjoying the peace and the other kid boats. Everyone is having fun playing with kids their own age. There are 9 kids here now and 2 more expected this afternoon. Saturday was calm so we took all the kids and some grownups boogie boarding behind the dinghy. Pete has rigged up a water ski rope and handle so it's pretty fun. Bennett can stand up, Ellie & Taryn can kneel and the rest lay on their tummies. Yesterday the weather changed for the worse and it rained and blew all day. We all tried to get to the beach but got rained out. The kids didn't mind, since they were swimming, but we didn't enjoy it.

Today is overcast and a bit windy with a few sprinkles. It's still hot though. The temperature is pretty much always 86. Day and night it only fluctuates a couple of degrees, even in rainy weather. We caught a bunch of rain water and are doing laundry in buckets on deck. Hopefully we'll get enough sun to dry everything. We've gotten so acclimated to the high temps, that when it does get chilly in the wind we are all goosebumps. Even when we feel cold, it's usually around 80. What will we do at home in the winter time?
