Here’s a sight you don’t often see during the summer time in Texas! Last week, we got a downpour of rain, and 3 of my kids had to take advantage of an excuse to get soaking wet and to splash in huge puddles. They kept positioning themselves around the house to get soaking wet from the rain pouring from the roof, too. They crack me up. 🙂
They loved splashing in the street’s gutter in front of our driveway, and would run up and down, splashing with all of their might!
Even my little guy had to get in on the fun. He had the most fun splashing in sidewalk puddles and drawing on the wet concrete with sidewalk chalk. Of course, from this innocent picture, you can’t see the smurf-like blue hands he got in the process. 🙂

FUN, FUN, FUN!!! We’ve been doing that a lot out here in GA, too. We’ve gotten almost 10 inches of rain at our house since July 1. Thank goodness puddle-jumping is so much fun… otherwise, we would have been stuck inside all month.

Sadly it seems like all it ever does here in the summer is rain. We can’t get out and enjoy the wet either because our rain always comes with thunder and lightning. When he does get the chance though, my little one loves to stomp in the gutter water too!

Our June was nothing BUT rain here in New England! We haven’t even been on the boat yet since it flooded our lakes and rivers! Glad you guys finally got some though!

With how hot it has been lately, I was hoping the heat wave would end in rain so I could just dance in it. Alas it didn’t!

That looks like so much fun! It hardly rains here {we live in the desert} but when it does we try to enjoy a few minutes of it before it gets too lightening-y.

I bet the rain was a welcome break from the heat. Sometimes you have to let loose and just play in the rain. Looks like your kids enjoyed it!
