on the Rio Grande river. There is a small beach area that the kids can play
in the sand. The kids asked if that's where we could go again last night.
We hauled in buckets, sand tools and a huge blanket to lay on. We set up
our spot and then head out to explore. We let the kids play in the river,
and we even tracked across a shallow area (ankle deep) to another island.
We found all kinds of driftwood, animal tracts and even a small pool of water
filled with tadpoles. We filled up a bucket and brought the tadpoles home.
The kids loved playing in the water and the sand. We didn't get there until
7:00pm so we enjoyed watching the sun set as well. Who says we have to
live near a beach? We will be making many trips here over the summer
as the children love it here and so do we.
