A Labor of Mud

Doug took the family out in Jeep number 4 (don't ask) on Labor day for some quality family bonding time. Nothing says family love like mud!
The majestic Jeep stands atop a hill, surveying its' muddy domain below. I couldn't figure out why Doug sat there for about two minutes until I realized that he couldn't see me at the bottom of the hill and was afraid he was going to run me over. See, he really does love me.
Doug didn't want to get the Jeep muddy. Hahahahhahahah. He shouldn't have told me that I could bring the camera.


Yep, this clean-up definitely looks like a job for Daddy.

We found a flat, mud-free spot for a family picnic. D.J. thoroughly enjoyed the peanut butter portion of his celery and peanut butter.

Mmmm...peaches for "dessert."

We couldn't have asked for better weather, but the sun was getting ready to start going down which means the invasion of the killer mosquitoes was about to begin. Time to pack up and head home.

We stopped at a car wash to let Daddy clean the car (I was serious when I said it looked like a job for Daddy!) and I got the chance to get this classic photo of D.J. riding in the Jeep. He loves it!

I just love family days!

Now that sounded like fun! Glad your family had the day together. Your daddy just went to work...I did a little of my own too!

That's what 30 years of marriage gets ya?! Just kidding...
