Wednesay Evening

After such a busy weekend, we got right into our normal week day activities.  The boys summer school program this week has been about exercising, and they have loved the yoga lessons and dancing fun.  On Wednesday evening, we had a delicious dinner and headed outside to blow bubbles and splash in the rain puddles left over from our after rain showers.  Our sidewalk was pretty clear of rain, so we just blew bubbles. 

Down the street we go to find some puddles to splash in . . .we aren't wearing rain boots for nothing! 

We live at the top of the tiniest not even a hill ever, so there weren't many puddles to splash in . . . well, we can just invade other alleys and streets to splash!  The alley just a half block north of us had lots of puddles to splash in!

Seriously, this was our most fun puddle.  Unfortunately, the lady we encountered some alley traffic.  The drivers were confused as to why we were strangers playing in their alley.  I convinced them that were just a nice family that lived across the street with two little boys who needed to splash in the rain puddles . . . luckily the boys are cute! 

As we made our way down the street just north of our house, we ran into the Hendrix family playing baseball in their front yard.  Fun to visit with them and steal their bug spray!  They are a super dedicated sports family, and so are we!  See y'all at the indoor soccer game on Sunday!  The boys found an awesome puddle at the east end of the street, and they waded through it happily . . . and Lincoln did some multi-tasking and blew some bubbles! 

So much fun playing outside after the rain, but it was time to go have dessert and get ready for bed.  The boys got to choose their favorite fruits to dip in white chocolate .  

Dipping fruit in pure sugar kind of makes little guys crazy!  They made the sillies poses when Mommy said, "Say Cheese!"  Lincoln decided that the strawberries were the best fruit to dip in the white chocolate, and Beau said the pineapple slices were the best fruit to dip in the white chocolate.  They both rated the banana their least favorite . . . I guess we'll leave the bananas for banana splits! 

What an unexpected fun evening after a rain shower.  Why shouldn't we splash in puddles and dip fruit in chocolate?!?!
