The Difference Between Adults and Children

Normal March weather is cold.

Not this year. Today was 80 degrees.

Keith and I passed this mudslide today at Little Girls Beach near Ironwood, Michigan and said, "Wow, what a mess. The county should do something or the whole hillside will erode away. "


Our girls walked by the same mudslide and it called their name.


 And they listened


I'm thankful they took their shoes off.

Would it be a stretch to call this Mud Painting 
"Art" and count it for homeschooling?


Only Anna could play in the mud and climb a mud hill 
wearing light colored shorts and not get her clothes dirty. 


Lani, on the other hand, is a different story.

  
No children were harmed in the making of this blog post


This gives the word "Mud Boots" a different meaning
 

Stick in the muds.
 

Muddy Buddies


 And the prize for the muddiest child goes to...

 Not to be outdone, 
Keith JUMPED out of a swing 
(at his age, mind you)
and landed in the mud.

How nice mud feels between the toes.

  1. Nice! glad you are experiencing this beautiful weather. Reminds me of a time in Trimble when my kids gave a whole new meaning to the term: Mud Slide! :) I didn't get any pictures as all I could think of was getting them cleaned up before Jeff got home from work~he would've freaked! They were covered in mud from head to toe.
    Keep up the God work.

  2. Fun!
    Did you stop for Michigan water? Somewhere by Little Girls Point we found an artisan well. Miss that good water!
    The girls look like they had a great time. Sam and Atticus would have loved to have joined in!
