When I woke up, I heard a surprising sound. When I looked out my window, sure enough, it was pouring rain! I had planned to go to the park. Now everything was going to be wet. I felt so disappointed. Even though the rain stopped later, it was still too wet to go anywhere. I guess Dad noticed my frown. He handed me my jacket. Then he handed me my boots. "Come on!" he said to me. He opened the door, and we stepped outside. My boots made a funny, sloshing noise on the wet ground. A smile spread over my face as we threw the football around on the muddy lawn.
