mud

Its hot outside.

We traded an awesome backyard in Provo for a much bigger living space in Hurricane. I guess you can't win them all. 

Since we are renting there will most likely be no signs of grass. 

What you cant see is all the lava rock mixed in with the dirt. 

For us to even try to grow our own grass would be crazy.

We need big machinery to smooth out all the rock. 

I'm lazy and its not worth my time...we are renting. 

 However, we do have a hose and water mixes well with dirt.

So this is how I have been entertaining the kids on hot afternoons. 

There is not a park or other kids close by so this is our best resort. 

At least they get their creative juices going.

Chamberlain asked if I would put some war paint on him and of course Siri had to have the same.  The best part is when I rinsed Siri off in the shower (which she loves) she started screaming because she was afraid of all the dirt and mud running off her body. She backed up to the glass and was trying not to let it touch her.  

I hope mud is good sunscreen.
