Mud Pies

So the other day, my sister Caralee came over to hang out and we were going outside and saw that the sprinklers had been on. The sprinklers were pretty close to my mom's flower bed so they got some of the dirt pretty wet. My nephew Brock saw the puddles on the dirt and started splashing in them turning them to mud. We tried to get Sydney to put her feet in to like Brock but she wouldn't take off her shoes to do it. Caralee took Rachel over and let her feel the mud between her toes and Rachel loved it! She started lifting up her feet to splash in it like she does in the bathtub.
She was getting it all up her legs anyway so I told Caralee to take her dress off and just let her sit in it. You would have thought I had given Rachel her first taste of chocolate or something! She absolutely loved playing in the mud! It was so cute to see her experience the texture of mud and to see how much she enjoyed it!

It started out as this. . .
. . . and quickly went to this.



She kept trying to eat it! Doesn't she have just the cutest little face?




Here she is getting cleaned off a little before taking her in the house. She didn't like that part as much. The hose water was a little cold!

Over all I think it was a fun experience! Definitely one we will have to repeat since she liked it so much!

How fun! It's fun to see what kids like to do! Amanda has always hated being dirty like that. I always thought she would like it, but she doesn't. She even hated the sand in her toes at the beach! Silly girl!

I bet Rachel's daddy would love playing in the mud with her! You might have to find a good mud puddle the next time you are in Texas! :)
