Helping Hands

There's a small patch of dirt in our back yard that we've purposefully left untouched. Nothing is planted there, and no mulch will cover it. Because the kids love it. In our entire over sized backyard, they could play for hours in this little 2-foot-wide section of earth.

And now that we've added water to our repertoire of backyard fun, the kids are working together to make all sorts of new messes, and learning that there's no such thing as too much mud.
