Rain, Rain Go Away!

Just shortly before Christmas we had a really great rainy spell in Tucson and the kids discovered the joys of umbrellas.  Miranda mucked around outside for almost two hours one day, filling the umbrella up with rain, dumping it out, listening to how the rain sounded when she was under the umbrella ~ all the fun stuff that you forget about when you're running from the parked car to the store trying not to get wet.  It really was fun to watch them play, even though they were popsicles by the end and took lots of work to get warm again!

Miranda was totally soaked by the end of playing, but she loved it!
