Nothing but rain here since last night. Now this is fantastic for the garden, especially for all of my recently transplanted plants, but it did keep us cooped up inside … for most of the day.
My wife and son headed out to the movie theatre in the early afternoon to see the last Harry Potter flick. My daughter and I stayed home and tried to make the most of our time indoors. It worked for a while as we played Twister (holy crap I’m old) and Memory (I let her win of course) and recorded some fantastic tunes on her microphone. But, we still kept looking out the window longingly. I then suggested we head out with our rain ponchos and walk around in the torrential downpour. She freaked the freak out with excitement:
It couldn’t have been more fun and as if nature knew of our plans, we ran into a family of deer:
And found this dude chilling in the driveway:
My mind and camera started to wander a bit:
But quickly focused back on what would make this day memorable:
Some times it is the simple things that make a day like this stick in your memory and I know I’ll cherish it for a long time.

You can’t beat playing out in the rain, especially if there are puddles to jump in.

What a memorable day! Nothing like playing in the rain.
I love this post.
I went out in the rain with my girls the other week and they also loved it. I have to admit, so did I!
Beautiful daughter btw but I know you know this already 🙂
Rain is greatly underestimated, usually by people who don’t like rain.
Personally, I’m a fan.
That put a smile on my face!
