We went exploring here the other day, with Grace's friend D and his mother. It was a lovely time, except Grace got completely stuck in the mud, on the other side of an embankment.
D heard her yelling "help" and he went to rescue her--he's quite the gentleman! He nearly got her out, but I had already gone up and over the hill and promptly gotten myself stuck as well, as you can see in this self-portrait:
It was comical, really, because, as I was stuck waist-deep in mud, I did the only sensible thing that any suburban mother would do-- I pulled out my cell phone...
Then I realized that I had no idea who to call for "stuck-in-the-mud-in-an-estuary" emergencies. LOL
Luckily, I was able to break the suction with my hands under my knee, but it wasn't easy!
What an "interesting" and fun day that was!
Grace and D had a great time, and we'll surely do this again, although next time I think we'll use hip-waders. ;)

It *was* funny. It struck me as a "rural" episode of 'Seinfeld" or something... Coiffed lady gets stuck in mud...pulls out cell phone. ;)
AZ,
Luckily we did not lose footwear this time;) It was a *real* possibility...:D
LOL, glad it ended well.
I love the image of you with cell phone in hand..trying to think of who to call. ;-)
You guys are hilarious. I would have loved to see it. Glad everyone got out ok. I hate to see the washing machine after that load though. :-)
