Due to thunderstorms and flash flood warnings our labor day camping plans were put on hold. On Monday we decided to travel down to the Virgin River to picnic and let the kids swim. This might have been one of our worst ideas ever. The Virgin River is not like the clear beautiful rivers in California. This river is a muddy, murky mess. Since we just drove for an hour and a half we decided to make the most of it. We had to hike down a hillside just to get to the water. 8 trips later all of gear was set up and the bbq hot for our hot dogs, that were sitting at home in our fridge! We were exhaused, hot and muddy but the kids had a ball!

Thank you for the pictures, the kids do look like they had a fun time. It seems like I've heard Aubrey loves to play in the mud, was she in heaven. I'm impressed by all the fun things you do as a family! I love you guys!

doesn't it seem like we were in Heaven as kids? I never knew how lucky we had it in California. I've tried to go on many camping adventures that weren't quite the same, without trees for shade or rivers that were either too muddy or FREEZING to play in! Maybe as kids we just didn't notice!
