Rain Machine Experience for Vivi

Vivi experienced my rain machine recently and as you can see, she had a fun time!

The rain machine experience is even better with dance friends!

This is something I only offer in July and August. It’s just about time to put it away for the season. I do have a few openings, mostly for groups of 4 or more. So if you’re ready or just want to find out more click here: Single Groups and also great for athletes of all types of sports

So How Can a Rain Session Get Rained Out?

Well, that’s the short easy answer. There are other things to consider too. The lighting I use to illuminate the manufactured rain uses electric lights all around my rain machine. I could probably cover them, and they would probably be OK but then there’s extension cords laying around in the rain…

The important answer is it takes away from the experience. When it’s raining its cooler which makes everything feel cooler. Friends and family that are watching wouldn’t get to enjoy it as much if it wasn’t raining. Plus, I can’t put out all the other nice amenities like my patio heater, dry towels, posing charts, chairs to sit in, etc.

So, let’s reschedule the rain machine experience to a nicer summer evening and pray that we get more of them soon!

Nasty Thunderstorm

We had a nasty thunderstorm roll through here recently. This one had strong winds that actually blew down my metal/cloth gazebo in my backyard and ripped my US flag and bracket out of the wall!

If I didn’t know better I would think this photo was a tornado. But it wasn’t and had no rotation.

The wet pattern around here goes on and on. If this continues into winter we’ll be in trouble!

Additional photos can be found here.

Some unplanned for showers developed over the area the other evening right around sunset. If you look closely you can see the bottom of the rainbow in this picture as caught on the way out of Home Depot.

While driving back from NY yesterday, I nice view of a wet Throgs Neck bridge. I avoided most of the thunderstorms and rain on my return trip to New Jersey. There were some wet roadways as you can see but nothing more.
