Monday Mischief: Mud, mud, mud

We're still getting rained on here in Utah. More than usual it seems like.

It's definitely not like Washington rain or anything, but still.

Ella and Petal have been having a blast in the mud while Lassie has been avoiding it like it was the flu.

Today I almost wished Petal and Ella would avoid it as well as Lassie does.

But alas, they did not. Instead they went and found some deep (up to Ella's chest) and very, very muddy water.

And yes, they took several dips into that water.

You'll have to excuse the quality of the photos. They were taken with a cell phone. Not too bad for a cell phone though!

This picture does not do Ella's dirty-self any justice.
See how her chest appears to be a peachish color? Her neck and white feet looked the same.
She had a lovely layer of mud alll over herself.
But no one, no one, can outdo Petal.


"Do I have a little something on my face?"

Yeah.
She had to have a bath.
With shampoo and everything (Ella only needed a quick rinse).
I think she might still be a little peachy-colored here and there.
