Pineview Reservoir - A Sandy Beach in Utah!

A few weeks ago we found we had an open Saturday so I quickly came up with an idea to take the kids to a nearby lake. Adrian was game so we did everything we could to get ready the night before and the next morning we were off! 

I remember when I was young doing fun stuff like that seemed so easy, I oftener wondered why we didn't have outings like that more often. Now I know! I'd say we had about 4 hours of prep work go into that half-day outing. It's so exhausting but it's one of those things you just do because the kids just love it.

I'm so glad we did too. As I get farther along in this pregnancy it's just getting hard to do a lot. So it was fun to have this afternoon together at the lake. 

Leah adored digging in the sand! Her swim bottoms were a magnet for it too. We affectionately called her "Saggy-Bottomed Leah" all day.

Colin decided this was a great time to pull out a new swim suit from the box if Thomas hand-me-downs. Too bad it was about 2 sizes too big, LOL!

Sandy cookies taste better! At one point she even leaned down and licked the sand. Yummo.
