Walking in the Rain

So, it has been raining for the past 4 days...non stop!
We have gotten 14 inches of rain!

The kids got their umbrellas out today and asked to go for a walk. Why is my knee-jerk reaction to say no?! There wasn't a weather danger, and we had some time before dinner. There was no reason to NOT walk in the rain. So we took off.....and it was a lot of fun! We walked around our neighborhood for about 30 minutes in the rain.
People looked at us like we were a bit crazy.

But I made a mental note to walk in the rain more....
it was refreshing!
