Mud Day!

When I was a teenager my favorite church activity was the annual Tug-of-War Mud Fight. If you're going to get dirty, you'd better go all out! It's been a while since my last mud party and I was SO excited for Tucson's Mud Day to come.

The best part was that this year was Birch and I got to go through the adult obstacle course. Thanks to our friends who took shifts watching kids and holding babies so we could go through. Because everyone was busy juggling kids there aren't any pictures but it was SO worth the long wait in line. Kids can't have all the fun, right?

Trevor doesn't love mud as much as we do. He's trying hard to keep those legs up and dry.

He finally got dirty but was happy to stay on the side, not in the middle of that nasty mud puddle!


Cooling off with some free Eegee's while dad waits in line.

I think Trevor spent more time in the bucket washing off than in the mud.

Happy dirty family!

You guys look great! It made me think of the Winnie the Pooh little black rain cloud song.

I would not recognize you with all that mud on your face if you walked by me. :) Looks like fun. Maybe Reed and I will participate one year.
