Dierkes Lake

There is a fabulous place here that we love to go to in the summer. It has a great kiddie area that is fenced off and lots of sand to play in, tons of shade and is only$3. We went there last week and stayed for 4 1/2 hours. The kids just played and played and played.

Sarah and Kathryn loved laying in this little "hot tub" they made. They said it felt so warm. Boy did they come home dirty :)

Luke loved this most of all, I think. He hates me holding on to him at the swimming pool so this way he just got to wander all over, especially because the kiddie area is not deeper than 2 ft. I could just watch him have such a great time.

The boys made their own hot tub, all by themselves thank you! When they weren't chasing the girls they were building this. It kept them quite occupied which was awesome. Anybody want to join us?
