Growing up in Maine winters were freezing cold and snowy. By spring the snow had stopped falling and what was left on the ground turned into a giant block of ice. Slowly the sun would warm the ice, breaking it up with small streams running to big puddles at the end of the yard. My brothers and sisters and I would make boats out of Cool whip lids and sticks and sail them down the streams.
Winters in California are a little different. For months on end the sky opens up and rain pelts down day and night. This winter has been fantastically rainy, Lorien and Wyatt have loved every minute of it. A few days ago we decided to go sailing. I cut up empty milk jugs and the kids made sails with blue paper. Lorien and Wyatt had a great time running down the side walk (through shin deep puddles) after their sail boats. It was freezing and raining cats and dogs but it was great!

For fun! I should try that here, we have PLENTY of rain!
Great idea! I'm totally doing that next time it's warm enough. Thanks.
We are getting so much snow. When we get rain it looks like a fun thing to do. Abby keeps asking me how old your kids are. She asks if they are old cousins or young cousins.
What a fun idea. I am a boring mom, when it rains we usually watch T.V.
