Drinking the rain!

So it's rainy season now.  The stroller never leaves the house now without the rain cover stashed along, and it gets used about half of the time we go out.  It turns the stroller into a little spaceship with the boys safe and cozy inside ...definitely better than the throw-a-poncho-over-the-top technique we used with the old stroller.  Here is Dave pushing the boys home after a lunch date ...Josh is asleep in front. 
As we live in the tropics, this is nothing like the almost freezing Pacific Northwest rain I grew up with.  This rain is warm and the temperature is never less than 75 degrees during the day ...we actually don't mind walking in it cover free from time to time.  That can be a cultural stress point, however, as the locals think it is very strange to get rain-wet on purpose....even stranger (and poor parenting) to let your children play in the rain. 
Yet, how could we resist when Jonathan was having so much fun, the good clean kind? 
""I'm drinking the rain!"
