Boats on the flood land......

Today it was nice and rainy! My girlfriend and our son Gavin started playing in the rain like if we were all kids again. Ok Gavin is 3 but still;). Natalie and I often talk about silly simple things we did as kids. Small stuff that made for such wonderful memories. Things that now as adults we see as fun but not too smart. For example when we were little we would run around in puddles and slightly flooded streets . Sure it still sounds fun to do but the first thing that jumps into our minds now as adults is how dirty that water running down the street is. 

Its sad feeling like you have lost most of the wonder and passion for simplicity that the world offers us.  We all have it burried deep in us. And at times it still comes out. Maybe its a somg or the chill of winter that brings back memories and warm smiles or maybe its a rainy day with flooded streets! Today was that day for us and I must say it was wonderful sharing that with our son and each other. 

Like two fools lost in a flooded street on a rainy day we had a blast playing with Gavin up and down the street. I tied some rope to one of his toy boats and let him set sail:) He was so happy and the smile on his face was just amazing!

Natalie captured this photo of him walking down the street with his boat .
