The joy of being a kid

I'm far from a neat freak, but I do cringe a little bit when the kids get really dirty. It's messy, and I'm inevitably the one who has to clean them up. 

But, it's also so much fun to watch them play in the dirt. Today, the kids were dipping themselves in the lake, and then rolling over the sand into the lake. Oh the dirt!  And, oh the fun!
