A Year of Stories – Just Splashing Around!

When we bought our house last year, we were warned that the backyard floods “a bit.” Well this spring we learned that “bit” was actually quite a lot! After a few days of non-stop rain, the backyard puddles migrated to the driveway. We were outside picking flowers and they asked if they could jump. Remembering how much fun they had at their aunt’s house going crazy in the puddles, I said yes. Sometimes letting go of expectations is just what kids (and parents) need. They had such a blast running back and forth across the driveway. Water was everywhere but that didn’t matter. M told me it was “the best day ever!” I’d say that makes saying yes worth it!
