Puddle Jumpin'

I love spring rain. Today we had a wonderful cloud burst and the boys and I decided that we wanted to go on a puddle jumping walk in it.
Our gigantic umbrella. It is a life saver.
I love these trees that are in our neighborhood. They smelled so good in the rain.
Good thing they are holding up their shorts. At this point they were already drenched.
I just love those froggy boots.

I am sure that they boys thought it was so crazy that I was letting them go and splash in the puddles. We were trying to find the biggest puddles that we could.

I love Iris! When I was young my Mom grew them all over our yard. They remind me of the house I grew up in .
Here was a good one.
The three musketeers.

Holy smokes Emily. I was gone for one week and you have more posts that I do in an entire month. Not only is it hard for me to post on my blog but how do you get out and do all of those fun things? My poor kids are lucky if we go to the park once a week. My hat goes off to you. It's summer now when are we going to do something?

I saw you guys out there and the umbrella made me think of Mary Poppins!

Emily,
You have got to be one of the cutest, bestest, funniest, coolest Mothers I have ever seen!!! I feel terrible for my own kids! They are grown now, but how much better of a childhood could have I given them if I would have been half as fun as you!!! Yikes, playing in puddles, how fun is that? I was always too anal to initiate fun things like that!!!
