The Virgin River ~ our new favorite hang out! Its warm and close to home, plus the kids love to skim-board, and play with the dog, who LOVEs the water almost as much as Charley. Its not the cleanest river in the world, but its good enough for us! Its really shallow, not more than 2 feet in the deep parts. And there's lots of spots that are about an inch, which is prime skim-boarding! Its really cool, they just run, throw down the board and hop on! Then its like they are surfing...only shallower....and for shorter distances. Its fun to watch. Jackson is by far the best out of us, then Kurt, and then Ellie. I have tried and end up with a very sore backside, and Emma doesn't dare do it. Charley doesn't care, but I am sure she would be good at it! She just likes to play on the sandbar, and run in the water. I like that its shallow, with a pretty weak current so I can just let her be. Its very peaceful, and we are happy to have discovered a place to cool down and hang out.
