For once- it's O.K. that your kids are filthy and smell bad.

Load the fam in your tarp-protected car for the 33rd Annual Mighty Mud Mania, a mud-filled summer obstacle course for Valley kids.

This mudbath, held Friday, July 15, is the culminating activity of the Scottsdale Parks & Recreation summer programs. Click here for more info, and log on Monday for photos of the dirt extravaganza!
