MUD

Only my girls.

Out of the other 20 or so kids that were at the park during our time there...

ONLY my girls ventured anywhere NEAR this 1x3 metre mud pit from the rain.

It started out innocently enough with feet only.

But an hour later looked like this.

and lastly like this...

SIGH

I'm a fan of mud being good for kids, and even my kids rarely get to play in it, so I was open to this activity and atleast it wasn't my backyard they were tearing up, but its awfully embarrassing to see strangers with surprised mouths turned into snarls looking at my kids say "OH MY ------- (insert profanity here) look at those kids" I counted about 10 times this happened. I much prefered the people with lighthearted laughs and a shake of their heads.

I warned them about having to be hosed off in cold water when they got home.
Ahhh the revenge was sweet.

I will say that today I fully participated with my kids all day and it was the best day we've had in a while. Fancy that.

Lets hope the mud was good for their skin

or their immune system....

hopefully....
