What a great post! It reminded me of when I was little. My mom and I would wait for a big summer shower to pass by (the kind where the sun comes out right after) and play in the gutters along our street splashing in the water in our bare feet. I can still remember how GREEN and BRIGHT everything looked after the sun came back out. As adults, I think we lose a bit of our sense of adventure and the pleasure “little” adventures can bring. One of my favorite sayings is “We're not lost. We're on an adventure.” (usually happens on a long road trip…lol) It's amazing how that one little statement can turn a very frustrating situation around and actually become fun.

“…everyday when its raining!” That’s prime adventure time! Love her raincoat & boots ensemble and the acme telescoping microphone! Ahh to be a kid. The BEST play days were when a critical group of use were allowed out to play in the rain at the same time! And LOL – I saw the gates closed & chained in that ever-so-brief second!

Another favorite day was when they tore up the street on our entire block to repave it. At one point there were huge piles of dirt at intervals down the middle of the street. Talkin about an ultimate playplace for kids!! We were filthy dirty at the end of the day – my mom said I smelled ‘like a wet puppy dog’ and sent me straight to the tub from the front door! – but we had the BEST time and made up every kinda dirt hill game in the book! We were sad to come home from school the next day to newly paved streets! Our dirt kingdom was no more.

Betcha she’ll remember that adventure day when she becomes the mom even!

Thanks for sharing and taking me back. I can bring back the good ole days and go play in the rain if I want huh! Wonder where I can get rain boots in my size. Hmmmmm….

Speaking of that, I remember my cousin & I used to do some of the craziest stuff. To name a few off the top of my head: Hiked 5 miles down old country roads and into the woods to stumble across an abandoned, two story house and property with still a passable road and bridge. Snuck out of the house at 1AM to swim in the pool. Made a huge straw bed on the second level of my grandpa’s barn and slept there. And no, it wasn’t a nice and finished barn, one of those old, classic wooden ones with 1 inch cracks between the boards

That was my point exactly!

I also highly recommend:
- people-watching at the bus-stop
- staring at evrything as you walk down the street
- crackling every dry leaf
- walking on footpaths in subtle yet important patterns
