Super Rain!!!

So this summer has been crazy for us Colorado folk, because we have had SO MUCH RAIN.  This is especially odd, I think, if you are from Colorado Springs, seeing as it's pretty dry at 6,000 ft. above sea level, and rain is basically the definition for sprinkling in between Summer and Winter.  So when we moved to Denver and found ourselves in the middle of several afternoons gales, we were in shock.  I remember one instance in which Taggart was out on a run and ran right into a cactus because the water was coming down (and therefore up) so much he didn't even see it.  I was pulling cactus barbs out of his leg that night for about 1/2 and hour.  Here are some of the pictures, aka evidence, that Colorado does indeed get precipitation.

 I love the news guy's expression, like he's apologetically shrugging at you.  By the way, we live right in the middle of the big dark red part.  6,000 cloud to ground lightning strikes per hour from that storm, and on he right was the images from downtown the same storm.  The bottom two pictures are 1) the view from our balcony, which was filled with 2 ft. of water, and 2) the street flooding we experienced on our way to the movies.  Summer in Denver.  Crazy.
