The depression to the south of us finally formed into a tropical storm and while its path takes it toward Cancun and the Yucatan, we are in the upper right quadrant from it which is the area that gets most of the rain. It was a long rainy night and we awoke this morning to flooding all over the island. TS Rina (which became a Hurricane Rina this afternoon) won't bring us anything more than the rain so the three year streak of leaving the hurricane shutters in the back is still safe but there were some anxious moments over the weekend as we waited to see what the path would be. It looks like Rina will go around us in a half moon like track, starting below us as it heads west then turns north and finally then above us as it moves back east after an expected turn just before it hits the Yucatan. Yesterday we attended the first birthday part of one of Arianna's baby buddies, Brayden. The party started outside but had to head inside as the rain got going and never let up. All the babies from the baby group were there and Arianna was definitely in her element. She is very social and had to play or talk with everyone. Her birthday is just a few weeks away and we are hosting her party the Sunday before over at Camana Bay so yesterday was a food day to take notes also on things to do. Here are some pictures from before the rain drove us inside.
