I took this picture last year on the 4th of July.  My oldest son and his cousins found a mud puddle and decided to paint themselves and bathe in it.  They would get themselves full of mud and then run to the lake side chanting “let’s get clean, let’s get clean” and jumped off the dock into the lake.  Then they ran pack to the the muddle puddle saying “let’s do it again, let’s do it again”.  We all had so much fun watching them do this for about an hour.  Anyhow :), here is a layout that I did of  my son(I am working on the rest of the photos from this fun-filled weekend).  I put it on two challenges: The Pink Elephant scrapbook #9 -summer theme and Little Red Wagon #31-altered embellishment.  I inked the white floss with butterscotch ColorBox chalk.  Thanks fo looking.  I have some more posts to share with you hopefully later
