This past weekend was dreary and drizzling. In other words - it was great! We took the kids for a walk in the rain and we taught them the art of splashing in puddles for maximum splash effect. Think of it as training for future puddle battles! The end of the driveway for the school has a MASSIVE puddle that was at least a foot deep. Evelyn, of course, wanted to walk through it. So she flooded her boots and had the pleasure of dumping them out. She did not wine much on the way home, but wanted a warm bath as soon as we got in. I also did some training with them on how to hold their umbrellas so they won't be caught by the wind, and will shield the largest area of their body. These lessons will continue in earnest after we move as well. :-)

LOL!!! I love the photo. :) I can just imagine puddle jumping!
The art of holding an umbrella is very important on the island! Sometimes I just decide to go without because I haven't got the art down well enough yet.
A great way to look at the bright side of this rainy spring.
