When it rains in the desert, you have to go explore and enjoy the weather. We found this rocky wash while driving around and had to check it out.
Rain + Dirt = Muddy Horses
Posted in Family, Homesteading, and Outdoor Adventures
While we were at the cabin, we received a lot of rain which was great as it was way to dry up there, and the rain was seriously needed. At first, we thought the horses may have a hard time settling into their new location, but they took to it fairly quickly.

On this particular afternoon, the girls were designing their own water guns. They had fun coloring the water guns even though it was HOT. We were happy to get back into the air conditioning once they finished up the activity. 😉
