may showers: april didn't bring too much rain, but that is about all we have seen so far this may. i'm not really sure when hurricane season officially starts, but it feels like this is it. we have just had storm after storm... with really intense rain like we did back when i first got here last summer. it's been nice too because it's been keeping the temperature down... it's still pretty humid, but we haven't seen the horribly hot days that we had last summer yet! but everything is so muddy and flooded. as you can see from the picture, it looks like we have a huge lake on our property... but all that is usally just a grassy field. it's been kinda fun, but i think the kids are starting to get a little cabin fever from having to be inside most of the time. most days we've had to cancel all the sports activities and they have had a couple afternoons of classes canceled, plus when they do have school, they can't have recess because of all the mud. i, however, am going to try and enjoy all the rain as much as i can... not too long before i'll be back in the desert!oh and poor nicolas... he was having such a great week... all week. i thought we were actually going to be able to go to the batey to get that soda this weekend, but friday afternoon he decided to run out of his classroom and going dancing in the rain! oh what am i going to do with him?!
p.s. i finally updated my pics @ http://dominicanrepubliccitypics.shutterfly.com/
