Playing in the rain...

All of yesterday afternoon we were anticipating a large downpour of rain. It was brought in by a low off Queensland, so it felt like rain from home. Anyway it didn't end up arriving until just after we had finished dinner. Ben asked for his raincoat and umbrella, so he could go out in the rain (both the kids had got raincoats and umbrellas for their birthdays - thanks Andrew and Sally).

So we got these out, along with Joanna's umbrella. Joanna wasn't quite sure how to hold the umbrella up (and it is a little big and heavy for her still), so Peter had to give her a bit of a lesson of where to put her hands etc.

After a little while, Joanna decided to ditch the umbrella and just get wet, while splashing in puddles with Ben.
