Getting Down and DIRTY

Last Saturday we headed out to Irvine Lake for a Mud Run. We had heard about mud runs but had never been able to get signed up for one. They are very popular and by the time we heard about them they were always sold out. This one was no different but there were spaces for the kids run. We knew the kids would love it so we signed them up.
It was a very HOT day!! We took advantage of the shade and got the girls shaved ice. The line for the Shaved Ice was 45 minutes long but in the words of Cherish, "It was totally worth it."
Jose did get the chance to run and when he got back I couldn't hold back the laughs. I don't think he could have been dirtier. My little Iz who loves all things involving dirt (I mean if she sees dirt she MUST stop and play in it) wanted nothing to do with him.
Then it was the girls turn. It was so much fun. Cherish took the chance to float in it.
Because Izzy is so little I stayed with her to help her though. She loved it once she got over the initial shock.
This has to be one of the best pictures ever. I love the pure joy on our faces.
In the next puddle the mud was much thicker. It got to the point that we were all suck and had a pretty hard time getting out.
Good Times!!
I love this picture of all of us. The lady captured it perfectly. Not one of us could get up.
We will have to repeat next year. We had a great time. I've washed the clothes three times and they still aren't clean. I don't know if they will survive but it was all worth it. Some good ol fashioned family bonding. Love it!!

I'm dying over those pictures! What a cute, fun mama you are! I can't believe they have those for kids- even Izzy's age. Hope you are well!
