The weather got nice and warm in the last week. We took advantage of it and took the kids to the Beach, which is 7 minutes from our house. It was not warm enough water to swim in, but it was warm enough to splash around and play in the sand.
They had a blast. A few days later we got a sudden rainstorm that poured down hard, thunder and everything. So I let them have fun in it, on the balcony, sure Aiden would never join in. He really isn’t a fan of water, at least not the variety I stick him in to get him clean. He watched from the doorway, and every few minutes he would get attacked by Katie. She would get her hands all wet and come and put them in his hair, to make his hair stand up straight. He loved it and laughed. He surprised all of us by tenatively stepping out on the back deck, then refusing to come in. He then decided it would be fun to taste the rain water. We all got a laugh out of his methods.
