Photo Safari

The rain has been relentless.  We have been singing those sassy songs, you know "rain, rain go away"...."it's raining, it's pouring - the old man is snoring:...It's a coping mechanism and for some weird reason these little ditties do make you feel slightly better about the downpour. 

We've been trying to head outside anyways but there really are limits to how much fun you can have while being pelted with constant raindrops.  We've done puddlejumping, skipped rocks in the creek, sat in the hot tub with the rain pouring down around us.  We really have been trying to think outside of the box but it is early April and we are needing some inspiration. 

Actually, R and I had a fun afternoon taking a "photo safari" in the rain.  She has been using my old snappy cue camera and is getting pretty good at taking pictures.  I love that we share an interest so I am totally encouraging it!  Here are a few shots from our adventure in our own wet backyard (and to give you an idea of the dreariness factor the autoflash was engaging in the outdoors in the middle of the afternoon!).
