Every year during our Christmas trip to California, we usually take a hike to Pushwalla Palms where a small stream runs through an oasis of palm trees in a natural fault line. Jon loves to take along a shovel and change the direction of the water flow in the sand - something he's been doing yearly since he was old enough to hike there.
He could easily spend a whole day here in Nature's great sand box. This year there was even more water than usual because of the torrential rains we experienced a few days before Christmas. The whole desert was damp.
