Sand Creek

One of the kids' favorite things to do was swim. One of our favorite swimming places is Sand Creek. It's literally just a place off the road by a creek. We had a few wonderful days out there. The kids played in the sand and swam for several hours. We took hot dogs and marshmallows and stayed for dinner. (Logan and Brinn)
Porter didn't want anything to do with the water at first. He ran back to the car and cried. So I opened the door for him and he played in the car for a long time. Finally he was ready to venture back out. He never got in the water, but he got to the edge a few times. On a later visit, Grandma picked him up and put him right in the water. He cried for a minute then decided he loved it. He was a regular water baby, even getting a little too brave sometimes.
Logan and Maddie would jump into the current and see if they could stand up when the waterfall hit them.
Brinnley loves the water and got right in. She loved letting the slight current pull her back.
Ainsley got a bucket and scoop for her birthday and she liked to stay close to the shore and dig in the sand.

It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the nice weather. (As I type this we are holed up inside with temps of 100 coming our way.) The water provided many days of entertainment for us, and we loved every minute!
