Thankful For The Day

Playing in Rain - check

monday it rained.

no different than, saturday, sunday, or today really.

 

it's getting pretty old.

 

if you don't agree, you should talk to my farmer. he's coming unglued.

 

the rain, however, did play into our hand pretty nicely for the summer bucket list. olivia was all keyed up. she said, "if we play today, then we can mark it off the list."

 

 

as you can see from the large puddle at the driveway/patio and the river of the walk-way between the two, it rained super super hard. a complete downpour. and i let my kids play in the worst part. oh well.

Our Summer Bucket List

we made a summer bucket list. the girls came up with some excellent ideas.

 

 

sparklers - very fun. very hot. a little dangerous.

 

rachel looks scared already, doesn't she?

disclaimer: Jarrett & I were both there. I told the girls to just drop the sparklers on the patio if they got too scared. rachel held one long enough for me to snap 2 pictures. olivia loved it.

 

 rachey, being my wimp, spent a good deal of the sparkler time, looking like this.

 

 

then she looked like this when she actually held one.

 

 

and again after the sun went down.

 

 

olivia LOVED it.

 

i had to tell her to stop moving around with it so much. she was making me nervous.

 

not on the bucket list, but maybe more fun than the sparklers were the Pop-Its.

 

 

look out summer 2013, we are going to enjoy you...
