Mud

Today we spent the morning at a park with my LC's weekly play group. She (my LC) had one of her sons there and he graciously offered to watch toddlers while the mommies (and a dad) sat in the shade and chatted about everything from latches to diaper rash to iPads. The kids had fun (as you will see from the pictures) and I did as well. We've gone to the group a few times, but I m going to try and make it more of a regular outing. The park has a great shady spot and they have swings and a play structure (for Sac area natives, it's East Portal Park).

The park also has a malfunctioning sprinkler head (or a drainage issue) because it was MUDDY.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.















As you can see, Griffin spent much more time IN the mud. He required an outfit change and a good dose of water. Penelope just got her feet a little dirty.

I can't really complain, they were having fun and being supervised. A little mud (or a lot) isn't going to hurt and was most definitely worth it to be able and sit and have a conversation with adults without constantly checking in with the kids.

So everyone wins. Except Griffin's socks, which will never be white again.
