Puddle Jumping

A couple weeks ago we had a huge rainstorm on our way home from the grocery store. JUST as we parked the car the rain stopped, leaving large, wonderful puddles all over our parking lot. So I pulled off Ellie's shoes and socks, rolled up her pants and let her run wild:

What a wild child. Just look at her running wild. :)
No, she loved it. So we knocked on our neighbour Hayden's door....

And made it into puddle jumping party!

The sun even came out.

You can't see it in this photo, but Hayden went crazy and was covered from head to toe in muddy water.

Ellie stayed a bit cleaner.
As I write this we are having another dreadfully rainy day. This time, however, Ellie donned some beautiful shiny green boots (hand-me-downs from cousin Regan) and we bravely went to Extra Foods to get some chocolate chips. Ellie thought she was the coolest kid in the whole store, staring at her feet the entire time with this satisfied look on her face. So easy to please!
