Here it is...the big announcement you have all been waiting for! One thing I really love about living here in AZ is that we irrigate our property--which means, every 13 days the ditches around our house fill up with water and we open certain gates that allow our yard to fill up with water, like a HUGE swimming pool! It is so fun for the kids! They put on their irrigation boots and run outside to wade through it and play and splash. This last time, Remington and his friend set up a little camp on a bridge that connects our back patio to a little picnic area and pretended to catch sting rays and fish. Indi and her friend ran through it as fast as they could with princess dresses on (the dresses were pulled up to their necks!) and Walker had a hay-day splashing in the mud!
What could be more fun than playing in 1 1/2 acres of muddy water?

Looks like lots of fun! My kids' favorite place to play is the dirt in our backyard--and if it is mud...heaven!
That looks like so much fun. One of our neighbor's still irrigates their property and sometimes they invite Ty to come over and play when it is their turn for the water. I never knew that irrigating really means flooding. What a blast!
Lena, I wish I could run through the irrigation ditch with my boots and Princess dress--how fun is your family? And straight up? Walker is GORGEOUS! He's so pretty, I just want to eat him up. Oh, this makes me miss you guys. :)
Free mud bath sounds pretty awesome to me ;)
This probably brings back lots of memories for Ryan when he and the kids and all the cousins would have fun at Grandma and Grandpa Smiths when they would irrigate. Oh, the simple pleasures. that's the ticket, to find the joy in the things we have to do!
