How to spend a rainy Saturday

It was gray and cloudy this morning and then around noon the skies opened up. What is a family of five to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon?
For starters, we dropped Kennedy at Grandma's and took Resli and Lela to see The Lorax (thanks in large part to a generous birthday gift card from Uncle Adam and Aunt Amy). The girls were, needless to say, pretty excited about it.
Resli recited lines from the book the whole time. 

After that, and a brief respite at home, we ventured out during a lull in the weather and headed to Tasty Buddha, our favorite restaurant. 
Kennedy particularly enjoyed a new treat she got in her school Easter basket yesterday, called a Mum Mum. I'd never heard of them but this sure was a big hit.
And it kept her happy and occupied while the rest of us ate, and thus it is even more wonderful!

Then it started pouring again. Oh, I forgot to mention we were eating on the porch of the restaurant, because it's not very often you get a pleasant low 70s degree evening in Florida. 
But the rain got so intense that the roof started leaking on our table!
Resli and Lela couldn't decide if that was hysterical or horrifying.
And then we all got soaking wet on the way home. But not too wet to stay outside and play in the puddles a little before heading in for a bath and bedtime.
How was your Saturday?

Yes, Resli changed socks halfway through the day. And yes, the second pair is neon orange!

I love those socks. And Kennedy looks just like Resli from the side. Can't wait to see you guys this summer!
