The sun broke through the clouds yesterday and dropped it's glorious rays on us right in the middle of the kids' nap time. Didn't matter to me. I woke them up from their sleep and got them into shorts as quickly as I could. Outside we all went to play with frisbees and soccer balls and footballs and bikes. For all of 15 minutes. Then it started to rain again.
Ho-hum. We stood under our front porch to see if the rain would pass. It didn't. Finally I just told the boys to have at it.
Before I could change my mind they quickly jumped onto their bikes and took off through the puddles.
Pure
Boy
Fun
After almost two hours of soaking in the rain it was time for a good soak in the tub.
It may not have been the sunshine we wanted, but they had fun nonetheless.

How fun is that! And you didn't even have to apply sunblock :)
That is a memory they certainly will remember!
Good for you! So much fun. We've had a really odd spring too.
I love the tile in your bathroom!!! Wow!
LOVE those kind of days when you just get to say "to heck with it!" and have fun regardless. These are great pictures!
Love it!! Glad they all had fun!!
This post made me smile SO much! :) Your family reminds me so much of our little family. I can see things Grace does, in my Chloe; and your boys seem so much like my boys. I love it! :)
I feel as if our entire family is slowly covering in mold from all this rain. It's starting to get depressing. But what a wonderful day you had in the rain....so much fun! The tubby shot with the shampoo hair is the best of the bunch.
I wish we could trade just for a little while; we need rain SO badly here!
It looks like the kids had a blast! I bet they'll have fond memories of this day.
I love that last puddle shot with her full reflection - so cool!!! Looks like they had a great time. I am not a fan of rain either - here's hoping the sun comes out for you guys and sticks around for awhile!
Nice job making the most of this weather!
Oh, I love it. So glad Gracie got to join in with the boys!
I think that beats sunshine any day.
we've been having the same cold, wet spring/summer. ah but somehow the glee of little kids splashing makes it seem like a good season anyway, doesn't it?
Those moments are some of my favorites. I love letting my kids just let loose like that. Those are the things they will remember the most when they grow up. I know I do.
I'm LOVING all of the pictures in your recent posts.
Super fun! Those are serious puddles - but it looks like they all had serious fun!
You've actually made an overcast rainy day look like a good time!
I wish I had a bunch of other kids I could go splashing in puddles with and... Oh, wait, I do. It's my softball team, and we've had plenty of opportunity so far this year.
Seriously, though, that looks like great fun. I did my share of it as a boy, but I'd still be tempted at age 54. I guess some of us never completely grow up :-)
Sometimes you just have to let them play in the rain, right!? I'm s glad you did. Such great photos of the fun too. :)
And that's one big tub, girl! I can't believe they all fit! SO CUTE!
So I'm not the only one that gives up and lets the kiddos play in the rain... of course I live in Washington on the rainy side, so what else can I do? My kids love playing in the rain, we've had some great times with sidewalk chalk in the rain. :) I love the tub picture, I always throw all four of my kids in as well. Makes it easier that way. Your kids are growing up so fast!!! It's so wild, you blink {or don't check on a blog for a few weeks...} and they are all grown up.
