Rain, Rain Go Away….

When life gives you rain, jump in mud puddles!

Tonight we got a rain shower just as the sun was setting.  My youngest was delighted when I offered to let her jump in a few puddles before bathtime.

Dear Canon, Thank you for making long lenses so that I can sit on my nice, dry porch with my camera safely out of splash distance and still capture these images.  :)

    You are such a good mummy. I can’t be sure I would be able to let my kids do this LOL, even though I would want too. These are just amazing slices of life shots, your daughter will love these when she is grown, they will totally remind her of being a kid
