Playing in the Rain

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Today, we received a very nice rain storm which means Munchkin needed to head outside to play.

While it may not be as cold as it is in other parts of the country, it is rather chilly – especially when you’re soaked due to the rain and splashing in puddles.

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory…
