Dirt! Rocks! Water! Mud!

Superman loves to dirt, rocks, and water. Preferably, all at the same place at the same time. We recently spent a couple of weekends at Grams and Granddaddy's house, and they have a great patch of dirt that the kiddos are allowed to dig in to their heart's content! They get filthy! But they have a great time, and the smiles are worth it! Sometimes, I just want to go out and join them! Maybe one day I will!

I'm almost to China, Mom! That is what Superman said as he was digging. When he was done, this hole was about 18 inches or more deep. Grams, being the wonderful grandmother that she is, then filled the hole with water, and I think that you all know what happened next. Yes, he jumped right in! He was out before a picture could be taken, but I am sure that you can imagine the mess! We just took his clothes off of him before he was allowed back in the house!

On a different weekend, Cousins A and B were at Grams and Granddaddy's house, too. They all worked together to dig this moat which they filled with rain water. Then the floated their boats in it. Those are chicken feathers on the island for decorations.

When they were done with the moat, they jumped around in it a while! Superman is in this picture, but he is hidden by the giggling girls!

Of course, he had to have his own turn!

This is the only way to get them clean after a sunny afternoon of playing in the dirt. They would clog the bathtub if we didn't get some of the dirt off first!
