This week the temperature has been warm enough to melt the foot and half of snow we just recently got. Since the ground is still very frozen, it doesn't soak in very quickly which leads to BIG puddles.
Our neighbor Rowan discovered the puddles on her side of the street, and when she saw Rebecca out she came over and the 2 of them together discovered a really big puddle in front of the neighbors house.
At first the girls were tentative to go into it, but soon they were stomping, running and kicking in it.
Corrine was riding her bike through it sending tidal waves towards the girls. Corrine went through 3 outfits today, ending with flip flops. It was 64 degree outside, but it still wasn't warm enough for flip flops with all the snow still on the ground. She eventually had to go inside to seek warmer ground.
Ammon came out towards the end and joined the girls, but it didn't last for long. He jumped harder and splashed higher and soon the girls were too wet, and he was soaked, so we had to go in. When Ammon came in he had to change his clothes head to toe and his boots dumped a cup of brown water out of them. Talk about playing hard!
We learned that Rebecca's "cute" winter boots were just that-cute. They filled quickly with water, so she switched to her "regular" winter boots and her feet stayed dry.
Rebecca thinking if having a big brother jumping with is all that it's made out to be!
Walking back to the house she fell down. Luckily it wasn't as big or deep of a puddle-she was wet enough already!

What great pictures! It looks like lots of wet fun. It still pretty cold though with all that snow in the background. I'm glad things are starting to melt. I love that "thinking" picture of Rebecca at the end. What a cutie!
