And they're off! It's funny how no one had to tell them, "Children, look over here. There is dirt that might be fun to play in." No, that's not how it happens. They get out of their vehicle and run directly to the nearest pile of dirt until their mother grabs them and makes them say "hi" to everyone and then she releases the child for the weekend. "See you Sunday kids."
Ella discovered that when you slap the water on top of the dirt you create a mud-splash-bath. Proudly Ella proclaimed "tah dah!" as I took this pic.
It's always fun to hug your aunt when you are covered in mud.
But sometimes you need to take a break, have a snack, and just chat with one a cousin you haven't seen in a while.
Big kids need to do that too.
OK, enough resting. Back to the dirt.
I'm not sure of the plan for this bucket-o-mud they are working on so diligently. Sometimes it's best to pretend you don't see what is happening.
There is nothing like eating a popcorn ball with dirty hands to usher in the fall season. Notice the pockets on the front of Savannah's shirt? They too were filled with dirt as I found at when I helped her to the bathroom and dirt went everywhere. And we wondered why Aunt Patsy swept all the time when we were little!
