Mud Skating

Today my husband was able to come home from school early and the weather was nice so we headed out to a local park.  There is normally a lake at this park but it had mostly dried up and left a ginormous mud pit.

We started out by throwing sticks and rocks into the mud pit.  L loved this.  After walking around and exploring for a bit, L headed straight into the thick of the mud pit.  He asked me to come so of course I did!  We had an absolute blast.  My husband was wearing J in the Ergo and was reluctant to come out at first, but he was easily talked into it :).  We eventually got smart enough to take off our shoes and socks....that made navigating the huge mud pit quite a bit easier lol.  I started to "ice skate" on the mud and it worked perfectly!  I used the same motions as ice skating and just glided through the mud.  L thought this was hilarious and kept wanting me to do it over and over.  We ended up being covered in mud and having a blast!  We definitely want to make this at least a yearly tradition because it will only get more fun as the boys get older.  :)  I snapped a few pictures with my phone before we left.
