Rain, Rain, Come and Play!

Atlanta (and most of the south) is getting some much needed rain. While it's great for the water basins and plants, seemingly never-ending rain can sometimes be a challenge for kids who are currently addicted to riding bikes and scooters. Not so yesterday!

Friday morning found me twisting my back yet again into some sort of painful contortion , so I was forced to abandon our plans of a trip to the jumpy house with friends followed by errands. Needing to stay seated - or best yet, flat on my back - I opened the garage doors and invited the kids to ride bikes in the garage and to take "Rain Baths" in their jammies.


They laughed and ran for almost an hour, totally soaking themselves in both rainwater and overflowing joy. We followed this natural bath with a warm shower, fresh jammies and hot chocolate. Not bad for a rainy day.

Is there anything sweeter than pictures of siblings holding hands?
