When my sister and I were kids we used to love to go out and play in the rain. We played in the puddles with our dolls and we would ride our bikes in the rain out front and we would go in all soaked. It was one of those great pleasures as a kid, no worries and good clean fun!
Many years later my own kids seem to enjoy the same worry free fun! I remember when Hayden was just two he would ride his trike on the deck in circles while it rained. He loved to see the ‘tracks’ that his tires made. This Spring has brought many wonderful Spring showers and both Hayden and Gillian are outside as much as they can be playing in the mud and puddles. They love the refreshing showers that fall from the sky. It is so much fun to watch them; their arms reaching up to the sky trying to catch a raindrop or two.
The other morning they woke up to see it was raining outside and without changing out of their pj’s they scurried to find shoes and ran out into the rain with their umbrella’s. Zip was pleased to have company outside on a cool, rainy day.
