This is how myself and my three kids spent ten hours outside in the rain. This whole outdoor series I've been doing, a big percentage of you guys are like, alright. I can commit to being outside in good better, but what are we doing on the rainy days? So I'm gonna take you guys through it. We woke up. We went right outside like we do every every morning at sunrise with umbrellas this time, and we got some sunrise light on the eyes while breakfast cooked on the stove. After breakfast, we went on a walk in the woods behind our worse. And even if I did not have woods behind our house, I would go find a place to walk with an umbrella. There is just nothing like a long rank walk to the nervous system. It is so therapeutic. Next, we did some homeschool. Our rhythm on a rainy day is basically a few hours outside and then a slow moment indoors and repeat and repeat. We're sitting inside right by a window or open good, so we're getting natural direct light right into our eyes. Once we wrapped up some homeschool, we went outside to play and move our bodies. My kids got their boogie boards and started bombing it down our hill. Once my kids had kinda conquered our hill, they wanted to do something else and conquer something better. So we picked up a couple of our neighbors' kids and took everyone to a bigger hill. And this demonstrates my favorite thing about playing in the rain is how much movement is happening. I mean, my kids were sprinting up a hill for an hour straight. Once we played outside for a few hours, we came home, we ate, and then we all got to work processing deer meat from an access that my husband shot the other night on our property. This turned into a two to three hour process and really goes to show kids do not need a bunch of toys to play with all day. What they want is more responsibility, more purpose, and to feel that sense of belonging with their family. And then from there, I started setting up to help out a friend better her high school basketball team ready for the season. Training athletes is what I used to do before kids. Anytime that somebody is in my care, one standard I have is that I'm stewarding their biology well. So we are outside. I've got them bare feet on the rank. They're indirect light. As long as it's not pouring down rain, it will be in the grass versus the garage. So that wraps ten hours outside in the rain. Stay tuned for next episode.
