How we roll after the rain...

Forrest and his wild mane of hair...never been cut! Not for long...
This little boy needs his exercise, and also wants to do what HE wants to do. So we've learned to
A) Pick our battles
B) Get him OUTSIDE when it is at least above 20 degrees and not absolutely dumping a waterfall.

Thus, when our tromp runs into puddles the size of small ponds and Mom seems to have forgotten the rainboots, (but remembered the camera, juice, and snacks thank you very much...) the following happens...

This equals some very soaked shoes, socks, pants.
And one VERY happy and tuckered out Mr. F
Remember, pick your battles. Pond sized puddles are actually a very good thing....

They are a good thing and honestly, being from Portland, those rain boots really never do their job completely well anyway!
This is AWESOME!!! I am also a big fan of getting outside, although I will say sometimes the battle I don't pick is the one to get everyone dressed and out the door! But we do like to stomp in the puddles here and there.
