water water everywhere

So it rained all day yesterday. It's mid-June and it's raining. Such a bummer. It was cold too. Camp is a great place to be when it's sunny and hot out, but it's no fun at all when it gets rainy.

All this rain has been part of a really wet season in the Sierras as a result, all of the local creeks and rivers are too high. Normally the staff takes afternoons off at the waterfalls, waterslides, and pools in the area. So that's been a bummer. We've been told that Yosemite's annual rainfall is at 187% of normal. So the rivers and waterfalls in the park are raging. (Rafting down the Merced, another popular day-off option is also out of the question for at least another month.) Half Dome is still covered in a few feet of snow, so that's another day-off that will have to wait until some time in July.

The kids finally show up tomorrow (Sunday). It'll be great to have them here, but it's going to be absolute insanity.
