sunday welly walk

On sunday its just me and the boys so we decided to go on a little walk with the dog, walkimg down the road boys had their wellys on splashing in puddles,  then we decided to go through the fields that back on to our house, they were just a bit muddy as it had only just stopped raining so was expecting some mud, but further and further away we got the muddier and deeper it got until we finally reached the cricket field, only to find it totally flooded and so deep even the dog didn't want to cross the stile. So we turned back to go around,  as we were going along the mud was getting deeper and deeper,  the children had both got their wellys stuck in the mud about 3 times each after that my emu boots started getting stuck until they completely came off! Cherub didnt want to walk so he wanted me to carry him, his trousers plastered in mud all over my hoody I gave up wearing my boots took them off and walk with just my socks on, atleast I could walk, told the boys to do the samebut cherub refused and wanted to be carried the whole way back,  after getting to whst I thought was a better bit got met by a ford and there was no way I was going to crossthat hholding cherub in one arm and my boots in the other, so off we wemt in a different direction to get back home, as we don't have a gate into our back garden its a 6foot fence we have to climb, monkey climbed it fine as he always does amd passed him the dog, and then cherubs turn to go over the fence he wasnt having any of it, so off we walked back down a muddy field with cherub on my back to walk back along the road which was flooded to get to our house, atleast the water on the road cleaned my trousers off a bit... next time we go for a walk we will be sticking to the roads!
