Alyssa and Jaden taking a rest
Jaden loved eating sand
Loves to pose now!
Jaden is content with his feet in the mud!
Today I decided to venture out and take the kids to Lake Mead. The weather's been pretty warm lately and thought it would be the perfect day to go to the beach. The beach?, you'd say.....yes, there is a small beach in the middle of the desert! I packed the truck up with all the essentials and headed to meet some friends at Boulder Beach (on Lake Mead). We enjoyed the day with JoAnn, Maddie, Sophia, Michelle and Aidan.
After we pulled up and got out of the truck, Alyssa scoped out the place and said, "Oh my gosh mama, this is a wonderful place!" We unloaded our picnic and made camp in the sand right by the water. There were lots of pigeons, birds, bugs and even more lady bugs. Of all the scary creatures there, the only thing Alyssa was deathly afraid of were the lady bugs! Go figure........it's about the only bug you can actually hold! Anyways, she wanted nothing to do with the ladybugs and screamed frantically if she saw one crawling in the sand! We spent about 4 hours there playing in the water, mud and sand. That was about all we could take of the desert sun in one day.
