Mud bath

My boy has had baseball camp all this week at a local high school. We were instructed to bring a towel today for sliding practice. However, no one really explained to me what this entailed. I figured it out the hard way. I was surprised to see the coaches with water hoses intentionally making the fields wetter, but they were. Then, I learned why. Sliding practice involved slip and slide style practice.

Then, my goofy boy went back for seconds of simply being hosed down.

You can't get the full effect on the smaller version of the photo here. This kid with Hot Rod looked like he had freckles from the mud all over his face and in his hair. These boys - all of them - were downright disgusting. We had to return home for a shower before heading out for errands. But, he did make some good slides.
