The perfect mix of mud and fashionable sunglasses. Cami is not a tomboy by any stretch of the imagination. She is definitely a girly girl. Having said that she is always the first one in the mud. I prefer to think of her as an "artist" though she probably just enjoys the mess.
On our trip out East this summer we stopped at Williamsburg. We enrolled our kids in the "Apprentice" program that allows them to participate in some of the activities in the village. The funnest activity was to stomp around in the mud used to make bricks. The little girl in pink and the shortest boy, the one with the light blue shirt and dark blue shorts, are my kids. Notice how dirty the little girl gets.
After she was done she was so dirty that her mom had to make her a new skirt out of a plastic bag. Both kids had the best time. I thought it was amusing how horrified other parents were that their kids got a little muddy.
My opinion is kids are supposed to get dirty. I can understand being irritated if your kids get dirty while they are wearing church clothes or if it's just a few minutes before pictures at school, but on a normal day (especially on vacation) kids are supposed to have fun and get dirty.
It was very fun and I'm sure that both kids will have fond memories of the village. Maybe some day they'll take their kids there.
