I’ve always wanted a few pictures of the kids playing in the rain with their umbrellas and adorable rain boots – but as most people know living in Southern California sometimes makes that difficult. Whenever rain is in the forecast here in LA the news is all over the “Storm Watch”, residents will often cancel a visit or reschedule their outings for another day, because nobody wants to get stuck on the 405 in the RAIN!

So a few days ago, we were expecting a big rain storm and it wasn’t all that bad. It rained most of the morning and all of the afternoon but miraculously stopped as it was time to pick up the kids. So by the time they got home the only thing left was the huge puddle in the backyard. So I had them put their rain boots on to play.
