So it's been raining....a lot lately. It's odd, rare, unheard of. Unofficially we've had about ten inches in the last couple weeks. Last year we were in the midst of our record making 100 degree day spree. This year we've hit 100 degrees only a handful of times.
After a good rain, there's usually a little bit of water here to play in. Last week, the water was moving fast enough we wouldn't let the boys walk in the middle of it!
The area of our farm that used to be a manure pit (which has since been nearly totally/almost completely cleaned out) now simply fills up with rain water.
And now we know that it can also be used as a swimming pool.
We wouldn't allow them to put their heads under water and kept reminding them to not get any in their mouths. But, who were we kidding?!
Mr. Axle just loves to swim around in the bigger pit area.
While the boys played, I kept wandering away to check out the water flowing through the pasture.
Levi was the first to get in the water, but Noah wasn't too far behind.
It's literally been years since I saw water running through the pasture like this. It was pretty satisfying to see the creek alive and well again.
The whole don't get water in your mouth thing went out the window when they started dumping water on each other.
Oh well, nearly a week later and they're both perfectly fine. We build strong immune systems around here.
