Our weather has been rainy off and on, but I saw a forecast for a few hours of dryness Thursday and forced us out to a pretty canyon for a walk.
It was muddy, but the girls wore their rainboots as we explored Rice Canyon for the first time (just south of Towsley Canyon).
The rain started up while we were out, and it was showery off and on. But no bother - these girls are half English!
We saw several spots of oil! Not a huge surprise, since we weren't that far from Mentryville or the Newhall oil fields.
This picture is a little hard to make out, I know, but Cora is on the right side, tiptoeing across the stream to reach a very large patch of oil coming down the hill.
When there is mud, and one is wearing rainboots, one must get as muddy as possible.
And then, clean up one's boots in the stream.
Cora at one point got stuck in the mud so deep, she needed me to cross the stream to help pull her out. I didn't get a pic of her while she was stuck, but this photo of her boots shows how deep she was in.
It wasn't all mud - there were sweet wildflowers, too. It was nice to get out for a bit and get some P.E., also.
