Kids Mud Run

When there's a chance to get down and dirty, the Beestons are in! Of course I would have done it, too, if I wasn't feeling so massive and uncoordinated. Oddly enough, though, it did take some time and persuasion to get the kids into the mud. Perhaps it was confusion? "What? You mean it's okay for me to roll around in the mud? And you won't get mad about our clothes getting ruined?" We ran into the Davenports and met up with the other Beestons, which added to both the kids' fun and the adults' fun. It was good to catch up with friends and family, while the kids played. I do enjoy this stage, where the kids can occupy themselves without requiring too much attention. But I also look forward to meeting this little angel who constantly punches me in the bladder.
