Sun Chasers

It has been raining A TON! I totally and utterly LOVE IT! Because everything has gotten so lusciously bright and green and loveRLy.

.

The Littles love it, too. They have been having fun splashing and riding their bikes through the puddles, smearing mud on anything and everything, watching the torrential downpours and the various shapes and colors of clouds being blown this way and that.

.

Yesterday, from our family room window, we saw a break in the clouds (and I needed a break from the house). So we piled in the car and went down to the road, which was one of the only semi-dry places around, to see if we could catch the rays (and do some much needed energy burning!).

.

At first, the sun was way up on the mountain, but we could tell it was coming our way. They ran and ran (and walked a little) while awaiting the sun.

.

And alas she came, casting long shadows across the earth.

And making more vibrant the fields.


We drew with rocks airplanes to sit "in" and "fly".


We walked backward.


And just enjoyed the overall bask. And the smell of wet earth and grass.






I had fun taking pictures.


On our way back to the house, we gave a "Hey-ya" to Cookie (and the calf that's been drinking our milk! ).
