Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away!

We had planned to go swimming this week but, with the rain and cloudy skies, the weather didn't cooperate with our plans so we decided today to have our own fun in the water falling from the sky. The boys had a blast playing in the rain. Matthew wasn't too sure about it at first. He stood in the garage yelling "rain, rain", but after he saw Tyler running around outside, he quickly joined in. One of the boys favorite things to do outside in the rain was to fill buckets up with the water pouring out of the drain. When we came back inside and were all dried off, the first thing Tyler said was "Thank you, Mommy, for letting us play in the rain." My heart just melted. Sometimes the simple things we do mean the most to our kids.

Matthew looks as big as Tyler. They look like they had a good time. Did their Dad know they were playing in the rain?
