Running in the Rain

Thankfully College Station received some much needed rain in the last couple of days. Yesterday the storm hit just as Bailey and I were getting ready to venture up to the Texas A&M campus to visit Aunt Cindy & see if we could catch up with Daddy at his HazMat drill, so we decided to delay our visit a little and play out in the rain. Bailey had a blast running, trying to dodge rain drops & splashing in the puddles on our front walk. She was having so much fun that I had to capture a couple of shots to share.

Bailey wondering just what rain is & why its falling from the sky.

We had a great time playing in the rain & ultimately enjoyed our trip to campus as well. In the afternoon, after Tony came home and the rain had stopped we ventured out to Grandma & Grandaddy's and spent some time in their neighborhood pool. Earlier this summer Bailey seemed to have an aversion to the pool & didn't want to get in the water, let alone go swimming but today was different and she eagerly swam in both the baby & adult pools and even jumped off of the side of the pool to Tony and I. I guess she needed to do it in her own time, kinda like the whole potty training thing!

On a side note, if you happened to hear about the fire at the chemical plant in Bryan yesterday please don't worry about us. Tony was not on duty so he did not respond and the smoke did not come anywhere near our home.
