Rainy Days

Well, the rain destroyed our morning outside time, and I thought it might do the same for the afternoon. Quickly I noticed that there was no thunder or lightning so I decided why not? Let's go outside and learn what rain does to dirt and how it flows and puddles. So that's what we did. We took a 30 min trek outside and got all kinds of wet and muddy. We stomped through puddles and learned about splashes, we fell into mud and learned how water makes dirt into mud. We followed a trail of runoff water as it traveled down and around towards the lowest ground. The kids had fun just splashing around each other and getting wet and muddy. I didn't mind the rain, it was nice to see the Banana and Pieces having a good time laughing. Oh to be a kid. They've got it good don't they?
