RAINY DAY FUN

We had some friends over yesterday for an outdoor playdate. Everyone was getting along swimmingly, riding bikes, scooters, and playing tag in the cul-de-sac when all of sudden the sky went black. Within a few minutes we heard some loud thunder, and saw some pretty outstanding lightning as well. Then, came the rain.

Us ladies all looked at eachother and started heading for the door, but of course, the kids had a different plan. They all grabbed their bikes and started riding in the rain. We all looked at each other thinking the same thing, what a mess this was going to be. The kids would be soaking wet, and no one had a change of clothes along as who knew it was going to rain and the kids were going to play in it for an hour? But none of us really cared. Looking out into the cul-de-sac, we saw 8 little kids having the time of their lives, laughing, smiling and playing in the rain. I remember doing that as a child, and it was always such fun.

After the all the fun rain play, we had 8 little kids shivering away in the garage pleading for towels. They all warmed up, snuggling together in the towels I brought out.

Then we stripped 'em all down to their undies and let them into the house to play, while we threw all their clothes into the dryer. It was quite a site seeing 8 kids running amock through the house in their underwear.

The party was officially declared over when everyone's clothes dried and they were able to leave the house clothed. Everyone left, and I was finally able to coax my kids into getting their clothes backk on. Apparently they just loved being able to run around playing in nothing but underwear with all of their friends, must have felt so freeing to them.
