Rainy Day Fun

It rained cats and dogs today.  The rain finally stopped around 5 pm.  I decided to do something out of the ordinary... put the kids in rain boots (nearly acquired from Auntie L's kids) and splash in the puddles left behind from the heavy rain.

All 3 of us have rain boots that fit!

The parking lot had a few puddles in it, that weren't very big, but created enough splash and spray of mud and water to wet their appetites.

Braylen is already on his second pair
of shorts.  I was just letting it all go at this point

Then I remembered there was a spot in the circle where the sidewalk typically has a big puddle after rain storms.

Jackpot!  They laughed, jumped, and ran
through this mess for 20 minutes.

The kids were soaked even with rain boots on!  They had such a blast.  Next time we'll step it up a notch and play during the rain with umbrellas.  Watch out, I might be in the running for mom of the year then ;)
