Playing in the rain

May 10, 2014 by Emma Edwards 14 Comments

Adam obviously agrees with the saying “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” He loves being outside and even more so playing in the rain. Armed with his waterproofs he went to explore Nana’s garden and track in the rain. First he challenged the cows to a race. Adventures of Adam chasing cows Yes you read that correctly – Adam wanted to race the cows along Nan’s track and they did! Adventures of Adam racing the cows The cows chased Adam the full length of their field. The cows were exhausted at the end but Adam simply turned around and ran back again. The cows didn’t follow. This week Adam has discovered he can independently climb up the ladder of Nana and Grandad’s tree house. Adventures of Adam climbing the treehouse Up the treehouse Adam discovered that running in and out of the leaves made his hair wet and was great fun. Adventures of Adam playing in the rain up the treehouse The only problem with the treehouse is trying to get Adam down from it. He likes to use his favourite method of getting down Nana’s stairs – by sliding down.  This doesn’t work with a step ladder. After several laps around Nana’s house Adam settled for playing peek-a-boo in the playhouse. Adventures of Adam playing peek-a-boo in the playhouse We had a wet but very happy little boy. Adventures of Adam happy in the rain We are looking forward to participating in the Children’s Day on Sunday 11th May with a trip to Barton Broad – post to follow soon.

      I think the cows had a great time too! No doubt there will be another race soon.

      I am fine as long as we aren’t going out later on – straightening my hair once a day is bad enough!

      The treehouse is fantastic. My parents built about 5 years ago although some additional fencing will be needed now there are two toddlers around!
