Plain Old F-U-N

Houston is subject to a fair amount of rain fall. Houstonians have learned how to appreciate a sudden storm that leaves a steamy scene then soon dries up allowing one to fry an egg on the front sidewalk if one truly wishes.

Recently our family was enjoying a lazy Saturday morning when a down pour erupted lasting maybe 20 minutes. At first the kids moaned about outdoor play time being lost when I said, "Nothing is stopping you from having some big fun right now!" Here is a series of pictures that shows what immediately ensued.



"On your mark!"






"GET SET!"



"SPIT! I mean.... GO!"

Pure hilarity followed and everyone had a bang up time. Water was flying, laughter was tumbling every which way, and I am certain our neighbors were wondering about the new folk in town. Towels were used to dry everyone up, and it was all over with so very quickly. It was a brief window of time, but we grabbed it and ran with it before the rest of the day got away!

Not to be outdone by her older sibling I must announce my daughter won 1st place overall in the Second Grade watermelon seed spitting contest at her school. Perhaps she gained important skill and form from watching her older brother...





I pray you will grab and run with whatever the Lord gives you this day, His day...the day He has made.

Will you rejoice and be glad in it?

Here's hoping so,
Julie
