The Muddy Desert

On Saturday night Jeremy took us to the "muddy desert" as Kylie affectionately called it as we were leaving.  It's was really just a little part of the Virgin River. Jeremy heard that they actually have skim-boarding competitions there and it's pretty sandy. We thought the kids would it was fun to play in the next to water like the beach. It wasn't quite at beachy as we thought due to all the rain we have received lately, but it was really fun to play around. 

The water was pretty cold still, but the kids liked "fishing" and Jase claimed to have caught several fish. He would lift the end of his stick out of the water and showing me the fish on the end and then he would whack it back in the water and wait for another one. He was pretty entertained for a while!

We decided it will be really fun to come back when the water is warmer and the sand dries out a little bit down by the water.  

As we were walking back to our car and the kids were toddling along, chatting about everything. Jase was observing everything he was walking on including rocks, the sand and sticks and then would point them all out to us. Kylie was telling us stories about wanting to go camping and fishing and building sand castles in the muddy desert and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for the little family I have been blessed with. I think I say this at about every age, but I really love the age these two are right now.  I love our little conversations and crack-up things they say.

Life has been crazy busy lately so it was fun to take a little time get away for a minute and enjoy our time together.
