Rainy day

Tap, Tap, Tap, Pitter-patter, Pitter-patter. The rain poured down like elephants and whales with immense speed that it could have literally drowned us if not for the drains. While the school announced closing and the rain filled the streets of Aurora,  the glum weather made changes to our plans for the day. Me, my mom, and my sister were busy making boats.

I figured that what makes a storm day fun is making boats and floating them.
