What is it with umbrellas?

I don't know about other children but our two girls love umbrellas. They love to carry them closed, carry them open, and swing them around. We actually try to hide the umbrellas because they cause so much upset when spotted in the back of the closet. If we do bring them out inevitably they get bent, pulled, and twisted in ways that they shouldn't be! When a day finally came to use them we quickly got Chloe and Eliza outside so they could have room to explore. The lighting was great and Steve took some great pics. Here are a few to share.
