Catching the Rain

After playing in some different places with running water, the boys are into collecting water in cups and buckets. So when it started to rain today, I gave them their buckets and they stood out there ready to catch it. More rain was soaking their heads than actually going in their buckets, so I helped them find a good spot to leave their buckets while it rained so we could go inside. When it stopped raining, we went back out to check our water collection

This would have been more exciting if it was a heavier rain that actually somewhat filled the buckets, but they were still excited to see water droplets in the buckets.

I think I will look into getting a little rain gauge.
