Today we kept trying to catch the sunshine window so the kids could get their play on. When we finally thought we were in the clear and the sun was out, we got outside.

Not even 15 minutes after we went outside a very dark cloud moved over us. At first we played in the rain. After all, why not! The kids thought it was fantastic!

The rain progressed into a downpour of hail, followed by a downpour of rain. So as a family we watched from the doorstep. It is June after all, and we are ready to be outside.

Playing in the rain, even for a short time, can be such a fun gift. And it can remind us parents how to be children again.
