Lake Cheever

When it rains all the water runs off from the fields through our back yard and eventually goes to the river. It's a good thing our house is on a hill. 

When this happens the kids have a hay day. I'll be honest so do I. 

I like this one with the wheat field behind us. Kansas is beautiful. in a completely different way than my beautiful Utah mountains but Still the rolling plains have grown on me and if we ever move, I know I would miss them. 

The water brings frogs too. I'm talking like my kids caught 20 to 30 little frogs. They kind of gross me out. 

Capturing frogs

one little one by itself is cute. 20 of them in a bucket. Ewww. 

We always have a mud fight too. I always lose. 

Who knew the backyard was going to provide so much fun.
