Playing in the mud

We have about 4 acres down the hill from our front yard, we call it the field. So far we don't use it for anything except walking. We keep a path mowed around it and walk the 1/3 mile around it. During the spring it floods pretty good, lots of standing water. We had a lot lot of rain last week, so when we went down to do a lap around the field Sunday, the water was knee high on the kids in some spots.
Yesterday we went to walk again and the water was not nearly as deep, but it formed a good mud puddle in one spot that the kids played in. They played for about 15 minutes before I got my camera, but here are the pictures I got from the second half.


Sophia got a little taste of mud.


Before I had my camera, Xander was doing belly flops in the mud, his whole face was covered and the girls were calling him an Indian. He wouldn't do it for me again when I had the camera, he said "oh no, you had your dives, no more".









We had to hose the kids off before they came into the house, then head them straight up to the bath. Isabella was dumping hand fulls of mud on people's heads. They had lots of fun and are looking forward to the next big rain!
