One of the best features of the property is a natural wash that runs through the southern portion. I've been dying for a good rain to see if this baby roars and this morning we got it!
This first photo is of the kids simply enjoying the rain, just as it was starting to pour.
After a few minutes of that they jumped back in the car soaking wet to get warm. Can you believe it was around 70 degrees this morning?! It was GORGEOUS!!!
And here's the wash about 5-10 minutes later. I was seriously surprised how quickly it filled up! I'm going to find a way to eventually capture some of the water for irrigation use on the site. I can only imagine how many gallons washed through! 
This photo is actually still part of the property but it's designated as a R.O.W. (right-of-way a.k.a. property you own but can't use, haha) for Sandridge Drive which currently dead ends at the property because of the wash. 
Okay, so maybe it isn't a "River" but it's definitely a roaring wash, right? With all this water there was NO WAY my kids were going to stay put in the truck. This was just too much fun!
I just LOVE listening to their giggles! I think we're really gonna like this place. ;)

That is so great! We are going to miss you guys!
Wow, that looks so fun!! I hope you get good flood insurance. I'm excited for you...you always do such great work on your remodeling projects. I can't wait to see it all in person some day.
Ha, no kidding! Actually, it was great to have a good hard rain to see how well the site drains. With it being desert, all the water ran right off. I took detailed photos of the site to have handy for future planning. With 2.4 acres, even with the wash, there's still plenty of room for a modest sized home one day. I'm pretty excited but I'll be even MORE excited when it's officially ours!
thats awesome!! so FUN!!
I didn't realize you guys moved. Thank heavens for blogs so we can still see what you are up to.
Oh, I'm so happy for you! And, it looks like the kids had a blast! I do miss AZ monsoons. :)
