Rainy Monday

Having planned a productive day of finishing up outdoor projects today, I was a little disappointed see that the steady drizzle outside looked like an all-day kind of rain. But thank goodness for rubber boots and a $5 rain coat! We had a great morning splashing, racing, and adventuring. We discovered that a dreary day is the best day to visit the cows - when they are huddled under the only tree cover, even the calves are hesitant to run away from a boy in a bright yellow rain coat.

where are the puddles, mom?

wait up, Katie!

um...are you sure I'm allowed to go in there?

come on in, Katie!




The adventure ended when he went in a little too deep. Then it was time for a piggy-back ride back to the house for dry pants and socks.

Giddyup


Every cowboy has to start somewhere, and a 35-year-old pony
named Billy seemed like a safe choice! This experience suddenly revived his interest in his stickhorse at home. He even practices backing up his "pony"--usually while underfoot in the kitchen.
I love it!
