We went to visit a neighbor on her 82nd birthday, and while she and I visited, the kids played in her yard. They turned on a hose, made a huge, very deep puddle of black mud (I suspect it had already been started by her sprinklers) and made a terrific mess. They had a ball, and luckily she thought it was funny becuase I had to clean it up and she didn't! (And possibly because we had just brought her some chocolate chip cookies for her birthday!) One of the advantages of being old, I guess. I took these pictures after I cleaned them up a bit so we could come home, but I finished hosing them off before I would let them in the house.
