Rainy Day Explorers

rain + my boys is not a very promising combination.

kai-kai & bracky LOVE being outdoors.

so, you can imagine when the cooler months set in and with that then comes beloved rain, for this mum i need to have some serious fun, engaging indoor activities to keep us all sane.

yesterday it poured down, you can imagine my joy.

we started out making a train track all around the lounge room, but we ran out of tracks.

we made play-dough in my new food-processor (thanks joovy).

FINALLY, we had a break of rain and i seized this opportunity to get the kids out.

one of my favourite past times was jumping in puddles, and of course i have passed that down to my kids.

we took this time to find puddles and made big splashes, we went on a little nature hike through the creek which our house faces, that bought loads of exploring opportunities.

kai-kai's imagination was in full swing.

just after the creek they are building a new field and there are "truck" loads of road work vehicles, and i always say to my boys "One day when we have time, i'll take you and look at the trucks."

today was that day.

bracky was in absolute heaven, he is a HUGE digger fan and what was there?

a GIGANTIC (makai's imagination took over here), HUGE, YELLOW digger.

oh the excitement on that boys face, i cannot begin to even describe it.

this is how i stay sane with a rainy day, what activities do you do?

(this is makai's new favourite way to take photos, he makes us all do it)
