Mud Lake, ND

Okay...not really!  But there is a lake and the kids were VERY muddy!!
Our friends, the Jackson's, just bought this land.  In all the rain we've gotten its made some giant mud holes.  She thought it would be fun to take the kids out to play in the mud and invited us to go with them!


My kids didn't know what to think when I told them NOT to wear shoes and to
GO play IN the MUD!
 It took some warming up, but it didn't take long before they were muddy from head to toe...some more than others!





Payden even enjoyed himself...

Landon couldn't get enough of it!!
 He didn't even care about lunch time!!
 And this boy is ALWAYS ready to eat something!!


He did squeeze in a few few bites...

But Mr. Hugh was the fun-est to watch!! 
He'd literally DIVE and belly flop right in!!

I learned this week that Madilyn
IS.A.GIRL.
She tried to like it, especially because Dakota did, but she just couldn't handle it!
So she changed and kept Payden company!


She was more up to climbing the dirt mound and looking for secret hide outs!!

We are grateful for our new friends!
We look forward to more fun times with them!!

What good parents you are to let your kids get so dirty! So much fun. Makes me want to make a big mud puddle in my back yard....

Mud puddles. I have a love/hate relationship with them! I love how much fun they allow for my kids! I hate the clean-up and the mess it makes trying to clean up kids! (I wish it was us playing in that puddle with you all, but so glad that you've got such good friends to go play with!) Love you guys! Thanks for calling today, it was fun chatting!
