Rain...

I took these snapshots last Tuesday sometime after dinner. Tim was out with a few people from work and the kids and I had dinner at McDonalds. Yes, Happy Meals all around. We don't go to McDonalds much, but it's Kelsey's favorite and so a treat it was. When we got home the kids were running around, the boys were riding their bikes and Kelsey was just hanging out and running after them on the sidewalk. I was sitting on the front porch reading the paper. It was warm. All of a sudden, it started to rain. It was light at first, and I told the kids to put their bikes away and to come up on the porch. Pretty soon it started pouring. The kids kept running around. I'm not sure if it was lack of energy or the fact that I had so much on my mind that night, but I just let them run around in the pouring rain (there was no lightening) and they had a BLAST!! I went and got my camera and snapped some pictures. I brought out towels to the front porch and they stripped and dried off. Afterwards, the boys told me it was the best time! It reminded me of when I was little, my friend, Angie and I, would ask to go run in the rain with our bathing suits on. We usually could if it wasn't thunder and lightening out. Simple Fun.
