Rain or Shine

Yesterday, we took the boys to a local park and playground.  It started to rain but the boys didn't mind playing in the rain at all.  They had a blast.  I was especially filled with joy to see my autistic boy (the one in red shirt) laugh and smile and enjoy himself; for that period of time at the park, he was like he used to be before he turned 10. 

The boys loved it when Dad tried to walk between their swings...a fun game they played :). 

Today, it's sunny out and the boys had fun biking with Dad.  I really believe that trials make us never take joy for granted.  At least they did for me. 

P.S. Our daughter was not with us yesterday at the park because she was at a sleepover at a friend's house. By the way, why do they call it "sleepover" when the last thing on their mind is sleep and they hardly get any sleep and they wait until they get home to sleep? :)
