Storm (Drain) Chaser

Alex has figured out that the storm drains are all connected under the streets.  This discovery of an underground storm drain system has blown his little mind.  He gets so excited when someone comes over to the house so he can explain it to them. He clearly thinks none of us stupid adults know about this system.  Because obviously, there is no way we could know and not be super pumped about it at all times.

It has been raining kinda a lot the last three days or so and his amusement with the drain system is pretty much the only reason I'm not losing it from lack of sunshine.  It was raining hard enough the other day to cause little rivers on the sides of the road.  He only stopped running in the little rivers long enough to grab a handful of straw from Travis's fall yard decorations and drop it in the river to watch where it would go.  He watched it until it went into the drain on our side of the street and then he took off at a sprint across the street to look down into the drain on the other side.  Based on the maniacal laugh screaming, I gathered he saw the straw on the other side.

It's the simple things.
