Yesterday we went for a walk in the rain. It was a wonderful warm rain that never let up. What started as a light sprinkle turned into a complete downpour and we couldn't have been happier! We all had our rainboots and hats on and the boys had their nets for exploring the streams and shallow lake water. Our senses were awakened in every way. Our eyes took in the brilliant greens while our ears heard the sound of rain falling on leaves and the lake. Our tongues tasted honeysuckle and caught raindrops while our noses smelled the freshness of the air and the earthiness of the wet ground. But I think the best part for all of us was feeling the drops on our bare arms and legs knowing were getting soaked and not caring. It felt so good to just walk in a downpour and not be running to get out of it. It was just me and my boys fully experiencing the moment together. We were invigorated and happy!
