It has either been super cloudy here or very rain for the past few days and my biggest boy has been missing his outdoor time very much. So I thought what better way to spend the afternoon while little brother napped away inside then out in some puddles splashing around!
I had promised earlier in the morning that if it did indeed rain and there were puddles to splash in that we would venture out after quiet time for a little good quality puddle jumping in his fireman rain boots and jacket. After a minor set back, with a dog who decided to dart out the door, this little boy had him self a grand old time. We started out in the front, but quickly realized we just couldn't find the right puddles for this four year old to jump in, they were just to small!
We then ventured to the back yard, where he found the rain spout and decided it was a great place to use as a ramp for all his diggers and trucks. This went on and on for a few minutes.
And then for a few minutes longer before I encouraged him to explore the back yard a little more. We usually get a nice river running through our back yard when we get a good down pour and yesterday we had just this.
It didn't take him to long before he found the French Drain and was in heaven, not only was it a nice big puddle but it was full of some nice muddy water perfect for jumping into. He is just about ready to take off for the great splash down!
Look at that form, he landed perfect and I know you can't see his face but he was grinning from ear to ear and loving every second of playing in the puddle.
He continued to jump in this nice and big puddle for a while longer before we heard some thunder and decided it was best to venture in to get dry and watch a movie and eat some popcorn. I have a feeling that as long as there is no thunder or lighting I may make this an on going adventure for those rainy days when I just want my boy to have a little good old fashioned fun outside!
