Puddle Jumpin'

Oh yeah, it's the day they've all been waiting for...

PUDDLE JUMPIN' DAY!

We headed outside and down to the nature trails since there are always great puddles to be found there after the rain storms. It's pretty much mandatory to collect a new "special" stick at the start of every nature walk, and today was no exception.

This guy was anxious to get to the splashin' and wasn't quite as interested in collecting sticks today.

Sawyer scored bonus points for finding an entire field full of ladybugs too!

I found a puddle! Hey guys, what about this one? Too small?

What about THIS one!?!

Yeah!!!

(Note: when you accidentally fall on your butt, just pretend that you totally meant to sit down in the middle of the water!)

Pure joy, right here.

Let's catch some air! This puddle jumping is awesome...

...but it's pretty chilly too! I'm cold!

"I really just want to go home and take a shower so I can be warm and free!" (warm and free? lol!)

One last detour for this "master puddle" seeker. You can always find the deepest and muddiest puddles off of the beaten path.

Headed home for a warm bath!

And one more, just because. The face only a mother could love ♥
