Well we dropped 20 degrees in a matter of days... went swimming last weekend and pulled out our coats for chilly 60 degree weather this weekend! The kiddos LOVED it though. They love the rain... love pulling out the umbrellas... love trying to catch the rain on their tongues... And Ger and I laugh at what wimps we are because it is such a pain to pull out gloves, hats, coats, boots, etc and gear everyone up. Yup, we are not Utah material. ha.
They really wanted to be outside despite the cold weather so set up a fort in one corner of our back patio. They spent a good portion of the weekend out there! They ate out there, colored out there, water color painted out there... made all sorts of shapes and letters out of pipe cleaners in their fort... etc. Ger even said he would sleep out there with them... until I reminded them all about the cats that sneak into our backyard sometimes at night!
They pulled all the cushions off the patio furniture and each had a pillow, blanket (towel from last weekend still hung out to dry!), and bed.
Next up on their agenda... PuDDlE JuMPiNg! Seriously. They got all geared up and we walked all the way to our neighborhood park and back, jumping in every puddle they saw. Allie stayed safe and dry in her car- she LOVES this little ride on toy.
Wow. They got drenched. They were giggling hysterically- so fun.
I was surprised Sydney got totally into it too- sometimes she likes to stay warm and dry like her mama. ;-)
And luckily Colby didn't whine or complain when he realized he was soaked through!
So fun to spend family time together again- we love weekends. Couldn't survive without them.
Even Mia remained happy all the way home- cold and totally wet!
This was a pic at the end to show how wet their pants are!
The best way to get warm again?!? Change into dry clothes and have smores by the fire!
We had massive marshmellows and everyone got their fill. yum. I will never get tired of smores!
Allie's first fire?!? I can't remember for sure but she loved it. 
I laughed at this pic- poor Allie's shirt is pulled up and her socks had fallen off... eating her graham cracker. Ha. She had a good time though and they all enjoyed the warm bath after!
Mia is our little poser! ;-) A fun and adventurous weekend in the rain!

What a fun outing! Made me totally remember how much I love puddle jumping - what a rush! ha. Maybe the rain is ok if it keeps the kids so busy :)
