Rain Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day!

With baseball season in full swing, we are not enjoying all of the rain!  Today, however, was a beautiful day!  It was a wonderful day to be outside and a great day to be at the ballpark!  Our High School team played in the Bill O'Dell Tournament Championship game this afternoon. Carthage has hosted this tournament for 39 years.   A Carthage team hasn't won this tournament since 2002.  Today, our team won!  The team record is 9-0 now.  They are hoping to get their 10th straight win on Tuesday.  It looks like rain is coming tomorrow and our games next week may be postponed, but what a great day today was!
Outside of sports, playing in the rain can be fun!  When my boys were younger, they loved to go out in the rain.  After the rain came, we would float little foil boats down the edge of the street on the water.  It was always fun to see how far they would go before they crashed or sank!  When they got big enough to play baseball, my husband loved to teach them how to slide in the mud!  There is a reason to hang on to old clothes that you want to get rid of!  LOL!! The boys always loved learning to slide!  Bronx has an umbrella that he loves to play with!  Most kids love umbrellas even without the rain!

 If you are like us and you are having more rain than you really want right now, find a way to enjoy the rain with your little ones!  You can find adorable Stephen Joseph Umbrellas in many different themes at thecrazydazy.com.  There are great boy umbrellas and girl umbrellas.  There are also umbrellas that will work for both!  Next time it rains, make some memories!
