Feeding the ducks.... what did I get myself into?

It all started out as an innocent outing to feed the ducks and have some outdoor time.

We were having a wonderful time!  Great weather, lots of ducks, everyone was dry and happy....

Until, someone saw the water...

Riley slipped into the water, Reid made himself slide into the water and then they found THIS puddle. 

And they were off.... let the mess begin!

These two were having so much fun splashing in the water, I just had to let them play.  They were having the time of their lives! Just look at Riley's face!!

 

  And those feet, and messy legs, and wet shorts....

I had 2 wet, messy boys on my hands, but they didn't seem to care! Afterwards, Riley found some mud by a tree.  He dug in the mud, and got a little more messy.  He was not exactly thrilled when I said it was time to go.  After all, he was wet & muddy... "Why would I want to go & leave all this, Mom?"  Needless to say, I was wet & muddy after I had to carry him back to the car!

Once we got to the car, I had to strip them down to Reid in his underwear & Riley in his diaper.  Wish I had gotten a picture of that!!  They had a ball and TODAY I am looking back on those moments and laughing hysterically at the craziness of it all!!  Boys will be boys.  Mud, water, dirt.  As I once heard... "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt!"
