Singing in the Rain
The kids got a new beach ball sprinkler today in the mail from Grandma and insisted on trying it out even though it was raining out. Rachel enjoyed it for about thirty seconds and started crying to come in the house and get wrapped up in a nigh-nigh, a.k.a. a blanket or towel. Jack was done after about two minutes of kicking it around the yard. Mallory she hung out and sang, danced and even fell in the mud. I actually had to tell her to come in when I heard thunder.
Seeing the kids out in the rain reminded me of begging my mom to go play out in the rain on warm summer days. We either got into our bathing suits or just went out in the clothes we were wearing. Funny how those small things we as adults try to escape...like getting caught in the rain are so enjoyable and fun as kids. Guess maybe next time I need to go out in the rain with them and run around.

I'm glad to hear they liked it! (Even though two of them thought it was too cold out!) Running in the rain goes waaaaaay, waaaaay back! I can remember swimming in the backyard where the shuffle board court flooded from the neighbors yard!....and running and swimming in the deep ditches alongside our road! Mally must be a little like her grandma!! A love of water (and mud) lives on!!!
What great memories are being made, already!!
I feel as though I will be pushed into the world of blogging as well.
We'll see. Thanks for including us and letting us know all about the fun things happening where you are.
I've been thinking of you lots lately.
Hugs and kisses all around. Miss you all and love you lots and lots.

Playful children warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes. Keep the blog going!
What a great toy! Sounds like Mallory is a little Eskimo. Jamie was the same when she was little. Pool 50 degrees? Big deal! Let's swim!
At the outdoor mall near us, they have one of those places where water shoots up from lots of different spots. There were lots of kids running around in it, and we let Raya go too. She soon made friends with a little girl her size, and they ran through the water holding hands. It was so cute!
I am so excited that you have a blog now, Cousin. I love checking blogs, and am always eager to add one to my list. I'm also excited to be up-to-date on all that's going on with your family!
Finally my internet is back up. That is soooo cool. Where can I get one? We used to run through all the big sprinklers grampa Marvin had set up in our huge yard on the farm. Way to go, Mal!
My mom ordered it from Little Tikes. I'm sure you could get online and look it up. Also I think I saw it in a Target add. You may want to check there too.
