We Love Rain

I like to believe there is no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong shoes.  Even on the wettest days, my boys still need to get out, they still need to run and jump and climb and explore and so long as they have waterproofs and welly boots, there is nowhere we can't go.

These boys are not afraid to jump in the biggest, muddiest puddles (Even if the water rushes straight over the top of their boots), and they think nothing of sitting on a swing for hours in the pouring rain as long as their hoods are up.  The rain means there are new things to see, from watching the way the water droplets hang on the leaves at the park to asking if the sea will fill up from the rain and overflow when we are down the beach.  It ignites their curious side as they check to see whether the water makes the slide more slippery and they love coming home at the end for hot chocolate to warm us back up.

Helly Hansen is a Norwegian brand who have revolutionised waterproof clothing and dress major athletes and sports stars - and of course my little family.  Their waterproof gear is perfect for little adventurers like mine (and their parents too).  They have sent us a gorgeous selection of rain gear that I can't wait to tell you more about!  

They also sent us down to Cornwall to stay in a beautiful Natural Retreats Villa so that we could get muddy and wet at Badger Forest School and I have some brilliant photos of the rain gear in action. You can usually rely on the great British weather, but we somehow ended up with beautiful sunshine all weekend and only about half an hour of rain, but put two children in a forest with a river and a mud kitchen, and there are plenty of opportunities to test how waterproof the gear really is!

If you like rain as much as us, then Helly Hansen have a fantastic competition starting on instagram next week, so keep an eye out!  Start snapping some pictures of you embracing the rain and check back on September 21st
