All this rain has us a little giddy. Gothamist was driving last night (don't ask) and commented to our friend Leah how much we liked splashing through puddles even though it wasn't great for the car . No sooner had we done so when our car decided to tell us that was not okay. And left us stalled on the side of the road for over an hour. Served us right probably. It got us thinking that even when the rains fall and it may seem dreary out, it's easy to find the happy side to it all. Puddle jumping was one of our favorite things to do as a kid, most kids love it. You jump up with all of your might and land as perfectly as possible, both feet flat, in the best puddle you can find... sploosh! You get wet sure, but watching the aquatic explosion disperse around you is what it's all about. We recently re-engaged in the activity as an "adult" and were pleasantly surprised that friends were not appalled, but instead joined in the fun.
