Four Wheelers and a Big Mudhole

I couldn't resist this adorable picture of Mikey eating watermelon. I LOVE SUMMER!

Out in the "Snakey Woods" by our house there is a big retention pond that has recently filled up with 10 to 12 inches or so of water from the last 30 DAYS OF RAIN (yes, I am whining. It's probably fewer than 30 but after 20 or so, who keeps counting?). Anyway, Jeff and our brother-in-law Steve decided to go for a little ride in it tonight. I was home with the kids so I didn't get to go (yes, whining again), but they took each of the kids on a ride through the water. They LOVED it! They all got soaking wet and muddy but they had so much fun. They said they water would splash up over their heads as they plowed into it. Katesie was a little worried at first but as she came back she was all smiles. I could hear her whooping and laughing from around the block she had so much fun. Isaac of course is fearless and couldn't get enough. Kira and Calvin got the worst of the mud. Kira spent nearly 30 minutes in the shower trying to get it all out of her hair. What a great Dad my kids have! (I'm sure he was having just as much fun as they were). I love Isaac's "muscle" shot.
