The twins Carlos and Carmen are tired of all the rain and can’t wait to go outside again to play. They’re thrilled when they wake up and the rain has stopped.  When they look outside, however, they find their yard covered in water.  The twins make the most of this unexpected development by jumping, spashing, and playing in the water until they are muddy and soaked.  Knowing they can’t go inside in such a messy state, they call their Mom outside.  Instead of being upset, their parents join in the fun, turning an inflatable mattress into a home-made water slide.  They made up for 3 days of rain with a week’s worth of fun in one morning.
