So what do you do in the winter in the desert......well you head for the lake....yah that is what we did .....we packed a lunch picked up the grandkids and sat in the nice warm sun .....and yes the grandkids went in the water and had a great time. We only have one water picture forgot to save the other on the phone. Was just a nice warm day till the clouds came in then it got cold so we went home. great time was had by all!
Check out the glass ....sure make we dream of water skiing...oh how I wish I could have done that. Seems like the little ones never can stay out of the water. Too cute!
