Mud Pies

We have been doing a lot of this around our house lately (consequently I have been doing a lot of laundry too).
The girls have been playing out back by their playhouse with water, dirt and lettuce.  I grew a  bunch of lettuce in my garden and have no use for it at all so I have been giving it to the girls to play cooking with.  They love it and we have lettuce strewn from here to breakfast.
 We had a good rainstorm a few weeks go and the girls were ecstatic to put on their rainboots and get splashing.
 They started in our puddle but soon moved next door to the big puddle by Bob's house.  It was a muddier one.
First they splashed, then they sat in just the mud and dug. 
 The miss Brailie ventured partly into the water

 And then I finally just said, "oh go ahead and sit in it" and they didn't hesitate.  
 It started like this but let me just say a full bath was required when it was all done.

When Lily came to play

Ashlee and her daughter Lily came to visit at the beginning of July.  The girls loved having Lily around.  It was so fun to visit with Ashlee and have her over for the day.  We met her in Price a week later and went swimming and ate dinner with her and her parents too.  These pictures are from the girls playing in the sprinklers in our backyard.  The day was so super hot so this was nice and refreshing.  I am not sure what Lily thought of it though.  She had the best facial expressions.
