#66 - Play in the rain with my kids

Last night was the perfect night to cross off #66 from my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list. We had a mild little monsoon after dinner, so my kids begged to put on their suits and bust out their dusty umbrellas.

I handed Mike the camera and joined them. My inner dialogue consisted of the following:

"Okay, I'm in the rain. Now what? Wait - I didn't actually DO my hair today, did I? No, I didn't. Whew!"


"Here I am. Standing around in the rain. Getting wet. Are we having fun yet?"


"Let's have a taste. Yup...it tastes like water. I just drank polluted-air water...YUM."


"Enough of this standing around. Tag - YOU'RE IT!"


"You can't catch me, little boy. My legs are longer!!!"


Sure, I can jog on a treadmill for a half an hour, but being chased by an extremely energetic six year old wore me out within minutes. That boy is FAST!


So I finally played in the rain with the kids. It was a fun Mommy memory and I think I won some cool points with the kids...
