This Sunday after being cooped up inside for a few days because of rain we had to get Redmond outside to burn off some energy. The best place to do that near our house is Walnut Creek Park.  Redmond ran and played with a few other dogs and we hiked around.  And well, let’s just say the park hadn’t quite dried up yet.

At first we just trudged through some mud and didn’t get too wet or dirty.

What is Jillian pointing at? Vultures. Lots of vultures.

We saw at least 50 vultures on two towers.

We were staying pretty dry until we crossed the creek. Because of the rainfall the creek was running higher than usual.  The only thing to do? Fall in of course.

Wes fell in a hole and got really wet.

Once you get wet you might as well get muddy.  Really, really, really muddy.

This was just the start.

Time lapse of the kids in the big mud puddle.

We had a fabulous time. We stripped the kids naked before they got in the car and had to tie Redmond in the back of the wagon to keep his muddy self off the seats.  I hope it is muddy next time we go.  A lot better than the trips in the 100F+ temp this Summer.
