All of the melting snow created a lovely puddle in the middle of our yard. Somehow, Grace’s internal mess-seeker found this amazing gift from nature, and she could not resist the strong pull to play in it. She dragged several toys out from the shed and proceeded to splash around. Of course, Tess had to join in – but first I insisted that both of them put on their rain boots. Yippee! This gave them free rein to stomp and stir and pour. They had great fun, until Tess fell knee-first into the water. I convinced her to keep playing – after all, it’s mud season, and she’s a Mainer – she needs to be tough! When she finally came inside, a half-cup of water poured out of that poor kid’s boot.
