Mud Party

Coeli, Logan & Addison went on a bike ride on Sunday. We ended up at Logan's school where we played on the playground for a while then hit the monkey bars. Logan found some trees to climb and Addison found some puddles. I told her she could jump in them if we took her shoes and socks off. Logan got in on the action soon after, then they both asked me to take my shoes off, too. Little did I know that we would all end up covered head to toe in mud. We spent 2 hours there and had so much fun. I've let the kids play in the mud at home before, but I've never joined in - what a blast! We made "mud angels", had a sliding contest, and of course, a mud fight! We came home, stripped down (the kids at least) and jumped in the pool. We left the water quite murkey, but it was well worth it!

Logan's shirt started out white, and Addie's was bright orange. You can't quite see it, but both Logan and Addison have dried mud all over their faces, too. Imagine laying face down in a huge mud puddle and you'll get a great image of the kids!
