Here are our little girls on the 4th of July. We went to an adult daughter's house intending to watch some of our grandchildren in a parade and then have a cookout. It has been raining, and raining and raining for days here in Ohio, so we had to come up with alternative plans.
Fortunately, I remembered that I had bought a finger painting set and stuck it away for ... well, a RAINY DAY! Even the "big kids" had fun!
I find myself wondering if the Little Princesses had ever experienced finger paint before. They didn't seem surprised or grossed out by it, so I'm thinking they may have done it before.

There is such a contrast to rainy days while we were in China as compared to here. Even though it rained nearly every day that we were there, the people seemed to get all excited about it and insist that we get an umbrella. In our family a rainy day (if it is warm with no lightning) often means yet one more excuse to play in the water! You've already seen evidence on my blog that our little girls are part fish. They loved it!
It was so, so fun to see Abigail running with her sisters, niece and nephews and enjoying the rain! If you look closely you will see that she still has a blue hand from finger painting, so it was a fun way to clean up too!
