We went out to dinner tonight at Rio and then walked around the lake. The sky looked like it could start raining at any moment, so we kept an eye on it. When we got around to the carousel, it was just starting to sprinkle a tiny bit. We were able to ride the carousel and then they closed up because it was raining harder. As we were walking back to the car in the steadily increasing rain, first, Alyson complained that she couldn't play on the playground because of the rain. Then, as we were going through the parking lot, she spotted a puddle forming rapidly and tried to jump in it. I pulled her away somehow mid jump. Then, while we were in the car, she told me, "I don't like rainy days because we can't go outside and play. But, I like rainy days because we can go jump in the puddles."
