Mud Football

Yes, here in our Stake, they have a tradition this time of year: They flood a farmer's field and play in the mud. DisGUSting! I think Darren had as much fun as the kids-- Courtney gave him a good smear of mud across the forehead (or, as Darren calls it, his fivehead).
Muddy buddies, Alexander & Cole. Very tasty!
Fabulous. Just fabulous. Can't wait for laundry time!
Darren is a real bully! He pelted Alexander right in the face (love the safety goggles touch from Alexander). Not fun! He is really crying in this picture.
The culprit and the wounded mud war hero...
Our little mud Mermaid.
Yikes!
