Finlay's Puddle Jumping Fun

September 17, 2013

While September typically proves to be a warm dry month in Victoria, we are still never without some rain and, for one almost three year old, this is wonderful news.   On one rainy afternoon, Finlay and I (Tyler) hit the streets in our rain gear in search of some puddles that needed jumping.  It was a lot of fun and some great exercise.  Below you will find a few pics and a few videos of Fin stomping around the neighbourhood.

Fin was just so so happy to stomp around. His smile is just priceless.

 Fin got all dressed up in his Newt Suit and with umbrella in hand we would head in search of puddles.  We had recently bought him a bright yellow umbrella that is shaped like a Bee. It is little and cute and Fin loves it. However, for most of the time we were out in the rain Fin insisted on carrying my black umbrella leaving the almost 31 year old man standing on the street under a very small bee umbrella. Sorry, no pictures were available of that.

 Finlay found a drain spout that was high up off the ground and spent quite some time playing underneath it

We scored a the jackpot near the end of our puddle jumping excursion at a place where the bottom of two hills meet. This made for some very large and deep puddles that simply could not be ignored.

Here is Fin in one of the large puddles again. You will also notice that he has taken his yellow bee umbrella back. This was nice as I was getting tired of the sarcastic comments from everyone walking by us.

What a wonderful way to spend a rainy day!
