On Tuesday it rained on and off all day.
One hour the sun would be out and the next it would be dark, as the clouds rolled in again.
I felt bad that the kids had been indoors all day.
I suggested to the boys that they go out and play in the rain.
The B Man’s response was,
“We can go out of the garage…… while it’s raining……in our CLOTHES???”
(I may or may not have ever allowed this before…)
I’d already made up my mind that it was all good because these days it’s about the only outdoor play time they are going to get.
Usually it’s either WAY to hot and humid or the mosquitoes are out for the kill.
So, guess who got to PLAY in the rain…
… clothes and all?
I think they may have enjoyed themselves.
And I might be just a tad proud that I let myself let them play in the rain.
In their clothes.
(and yes, Little G has an “owie” on the side of his nose – he ran into his bed somehow, I didn’t actually see what happened. However The B Man did, and I believe the story has become somewhat embellished. But again, I wasn’t there… Anyway, it looks worse than it is. He’s fine…)
Oh, and all the rain play was over when SOMEONE (not naming any names..) got COLD and ad to be wrapped in a towel…
I love it! Glad they could play in the gentle rain–my kids did it.
My play pictures are from the rain too! And my favorite? Is that pathetic pouty face at the end. Oh how I want to squeeze those cheeks and say “oh, poor little bunny!” (But then again, my kids think I’m really mean.)
Ahhh…playing in the rain, there’s nothing like it.
We have booboos all the time here lol
My girls have so much fun outside running in the rain. I am glad that you did it! Great captures!
Oh, what sweet kids (and a sweet Mama!) I let my kids do the same thing this summer for the first time. It was the best decision ever.
Great captures, Elaine. Wishing you perfect weather days ahead!
Sometimes I still will go out and stand in the rain because it feels so nice! Great shots.

Wonderful pictures! love these little joys of childhood! My girls would have headed for the mud, LOL
Have a great day!
Blessings,

What a fun and simple way to play and make memories!
Great shots…looks like they had a lot of fun! My son is a little scared of the rain right now. He thinks that all rain means thunder, which he is petrified of.
Even at the ate of 27 this is one of my favorite things to do!
Love the second photo. These make me think of “Singing in the Rain.”
That second photo? Love it. Sooooo love it.
ahh awesome! playing in the rain. the sign of a very good day.
Summer is best for rain play!
And now I want to go play in the rain.
You have such cute kiddos.
Excellent photos!!! Your kids are very cute!
I love, love, love watching my kids play in the rain. Wonderful pictures! Good for you for indulging your kids and letting them have that wet fun.
Love these pics! Don’t you just love it when you go against the flow and are the “fun mom”? I have been trying to do this more this summer!
These are the best pictures of your boys! I love the, “in our CLOTHES????” I can just hear it!
Some days are made for playing in the rain! Their faces show their joy and excitement!
My pansy kids would never play in the rain – it’s too cold Mom! I thinkt hat is just great that yours wanted to!
Great captures of a wonderful moment in time.
