Mud Mania 2007

I don't feel like these pictures need any explanation. They are fairly self explanatory. Kids in mud. I do feel the need to explain what in the world I was doing there, though. It's all Holly's fault. "It's a great, free community event. The kids will love it. There are places to clean them up - just bring some soap and a towel. It'll be fun." blah blah blah

Uhhh... Fun for who? Truly, during the actual mud slinging, Katie had a great time and so did Micah, once he got used to the idea that he was supposed to get dirty (he would have been more comfortable with the idea if he had been in a nice outfit, just before he was supposed to get his picture made!) He walked on tip toes to avoid the mud for the first 15 minutes, but lucky for him, he has a big sister to show him how to have real fun! Unfortunately, it was about 75 degrees and breezy, so it got pretty chilly during the hose off. But 3 baths later, they are only slightly mud-stained.

Note to self - be more suspicious when Holly suggests great, free community events! Just kidding, Holly!
