Enjoying Even "Bad" Weather

Today I looked out my window to fourth graders from Cohen Elementary School braving the sprinkles to try and catch a glimpse of nature. They didn't seem to let this weather get the best of them. Their teachers were troopers and followed along, but didn't look as happy as the kids did. That's one of the differences between kids and adults. Kids don't really let weather stop them from enjoying life, adults sometimes do. I admit I am a tad grouchy when it rains, especially when it lasts for days. And cold rain with wind totally bums me out. But kids want to go outside no matter what the weather. If it is raining, they want to splash in the puddles, really windy, how about flying a kite? Sprinkling out? Let's go look for frogs. So I am going to try and get outside today before I leave work, rain and all-and I'll even try and enjoy myself.
