Alyssa came running inside on Monday and said we all needed to come outside because it was raining and it was deliciously beautiful! (She had already gone inside by the time I took pictures.) Everyone took her invitation to heart and played outside in the rain while it poured for the better part of an hour!
The puddles were the best in the gutter area, of course! There was much fascination with the way the water ran down the storm drain. A few bits of grass, flowers, and leaves were sent on a journey to the great unknown.
Unfortunately the water was not quite deep enough to float a boat, but it was worth a try.
