A day full of mud. Stomping in it, mushing it between hands and fingers, oh and of course a little throwing too. Anything can be made from some mud and little imagination. We shared many mud pies and cakes and lots of mud soup to eat for a birthday feast!
I remember, very well, playing in mud as a child. And one of my fondest memories growing up was when a friend and I covered our entire bodies, even our faces, in thick Chico mud and slid down a mud slide we had made, pretty sure we spent all day playing in that mud. The picture below is us in the early stages of our mud fun. I hope my kids are able to take with them and cherish some memories like that when they grow up too.
