playing in the rain

There is a really cool trail about 5 minutes from our house.. It is a mile long trail and along the way there are little play areas with unique playground stuff, and then a big fishing pond and playground at the end.  It had been raining and we thought it would be fun to go play in the puddles and get the kids out of the house.  By the time we got all 9 kids out of the cars we realized there were mosquitoes galore!  5 seconds of being out of the car Bo ran and found the biggest puddle he could find and jumped right in the center of it.  He was covered in mud and water from head to toe.  The walk was seriously miserable and us girls could not wait to get our kids back in the car.. I cannot even explain how many mosquitoes there were.. they were everywhere and we all walked away with lots of bites!  Despite the pesky bugs the kids still had a lot of fun!
