MUDstock

Last weekend we headed over to Sand Beach up at the lake to say hi to the guys, talk about the jet ski, have a beer, and etc etc. We truly thought Cooper would be satisfied hanging out inside near the pool table. Boy, were we wrong....

We steered him away from the water in the beginning, but the giant "sand" pile with all the toys were truly calling him name. Only about 4 or 5 kids were around, and we finally succumbed to allowing Cooper to get as dirty as he wanted. It would have been an uphill battle. Hey, it is summertime, right? Let the kid have some fun.

And BOY, did he have fun.
These boys made a huge hole at the bottom of the Little Tykes slide, and worked tirelessly bringing buckets full of water to fill their moat. They also worked diligently to add an adequate amount of sand to make their mud bath. These kids were SO GOOD with Cooper. Even when their slide-fest was interupted when Cooper plopped himself in the middle of their game.
Maria, who seems to channel the Boy Scout motto, is always prepared. She had an extra set of clothes in the bag for the lad. The dirt/sand was in every crack and crevice of the boy. But again, totally worth it.
