We have quite a few toys and activities for the kids in our backyard — and they do love them all.

But I really, REALLY  think the thing they like the most is the mud hole.

It’s a huge hit.

It’s my gauge for new toys.

Would they like this better than the mud hole?

No?

Then I’m not getting it.

Which means I’m never getting anything again, because I am convinced nothing is better than a mud hole.

The mud hole is the key to happiness!

(Probably.)

Thanks for showing up in our yard, mud hole!

Please don’t ever leave us.

(Not that we would let you.)
