• Ummm I mentioned its raining a few times right?  Well it continues to do so.  And this weekend it just poured and poured.  I spent most of the weekend huddling in bed nursing my very sore throat and stuffy nose.   But  Sunday afternoon I was up for a little bit of fresh air.   Well we have property on the other side of the river, actually the majority of our property is on that side, and we've never gotten to see most of it as its quite brushy, no trails etc.    So Rob's been itchy to go see what was there.      We knew their was access by a old logging road in one part of it, and we drove there and began walking.  In the down pour.  The deal with logging roads however is well there muddy.  LOTS of muddy.   We kept getting stuck in what we dubbed quick mud.  

  
  

                 

  
  

  All of us.   Except Jer who was quite content in the backpack.  I had to have Rob help me pull my boots out at least twice.  Of course the fact I was laughing like a loon probably didn't help much.  ROFL

  
  

  Samuel thought it was hysterical and started doing it on purpose.   Well except for the one time he literally couldn't get his boot out.   Rob had to go rescue him that time.  After that Sam started doing it on purpose and on all fours.  Hands and feet stuck.  It wasn't pretty.  And dang it but I didn't get a picture of him.  LOL   He was usually way behind or foragging ahead. 

  
  

                             

  
  

  And the way he's crouched over in this picture it was necessary to walk that way  so one could move.   And mean mom instead of helping these two when they finally completely lost their sense of humor, got my camera out took pictures and laughed like a lunatic.    Apparently I'm just a bit evil.

  
  

                                

  
  

  Kaylin was the only one who managed not to get stuck.  And she came home the least muddy of all of us.  A feat I'm still pondering.  I guess being laid back to the point of almost boring is good for something.  LOL

  
  

  And Rainee was like Samuel she took it all with good grace and a big smile.   She just thought it was all funny.   

  
  

  Needless to say we didn't get too far we did

  
  

   manage to get to the river, but Rob had wanted to walk the property line on that side, and wisdom intercepted and informed us probably we should do this without kids, or wait until spring.  ROFL

  
  

  Anyhow the fresh air was wonderful the mud not so much.  All those they say laughter is the best medicine.  For the most part I'm still quite miserable, and have zero brains for anything.      I am ready to be healed.  Thanks
