My girls LOVE to splash in puddles! Most the time, I find myself saying, "Don't splash!," "Don't get wet!," "Don't step in that puddle!," but every now and again, we find the perfect day for a puddle hunt! Winter here consists of one month (January) of rain and/or fog and then it's almost spring again! Yesterday was laundry day, the girls needed a bath and it has been raining for days, so the setting was perfect. The girls stepped into their boots, hoisted their umbrellas and we were off to scout out the perfect puddles. They had SO much fun! They laughed and giggled and danced in the rain. (One of those moments you wish you could bottle up in a jar to keep forever.) They were soaking wet by the time we were through and covered in mud; nothing a little (or a lot) of soap couldn't fix. I'm glad I let them get their feet wet. :)
And hey, while we were out, we discovered budding leaves on our neighbors tree...our first sign of Spring!
(If we had waited until today, they could have almost gone swimming in the puddles; it has been raining cats and dogs around here!)
