We celebrated Cody's birthday a day early, so on his actual birthday (Dec, 18th) we went MUDDING. We were teasing him that his real present was pushing us out of the mud if we got stuck...

Mud, anyone? David's Jeep.  
Pathfinder's shouldn't go here, apparently.    
Lovin' that Mud There's a band named after this - Puddle of Mud. Dirty ol' Jeep.
The critics give up 2 thumbs up! Happy Birthday to Cody! The big 13!   On Top of the World.
A geek and her family    
  Our Rubicon and David's Cherokee... I am SO not running over there to get in....
  In the background you can see Big Frog Mtn - it's where the Ocoee River is and the site of the Atlanta Olympic white water competition.    
Here's a Windows Media video of what it's like to go mudding... Mildly, anyhow.
