"Whose parents go diggin in the mud? Jordyn's"

Jordyn decided that she wanted to take us on a trail across the lake that you can get to the top by the water towers to look over the valley. Kyle, Jordyn, and Bryant Bunnell were in Kyle's truck and Boom and I were in the jeep. Now keep in mind that it had just rained for 2 days and had rained frequently for about 2 weeks prior. Needless to say we were in mud up to the axels and it was very slippery. We were following Kyle and he was making some pretty deep ruts in the mud. Boomer decided that he needed to speed up to get up this hill. Well the ruts shot us out and almost down into the reveen. Let's just say, I about crapped! With 3 tires on solid ground, Boomer and I automatically leaned way back, as if that was going to help. The 3 from the other truck ran out to help and the boys could see that Boomer was okay to back up slowly. It was really very fun, but we decided that the mud was getting worse, so we turned around before we reached the top. We will have to try it again once the trail dries out a bit.

We stopped at a car wash on the way home to get the mud off the vehicles, and I haven't seen so much mud. Boom and Kyle were spraying for at least 30 minutes, and when we had used up our cash, we decided we better be done. However, the undercarriage of the jeep was STILL caked with dirt. In the morning, Boom took the jeep to church, but left half the mud in the driveway and when he left church, he left the other half in the church parking lot. Bryant told Boomer that he thought it was great that we went with them and said "Whose parents go diggin with their kids, and especially in the mud?" That would be Jordyn's.
