Great sand dunes!

When we woke up this morning, it was 46 degrees outside! The desert is so cool (and hot). Hot chocolate, waffles, yogurt and eggs for breakfast, then off to the dunes!


 After waiting in a small line to rent a sled and sand board and then a longer line to get into the park, it was about 10 before we hiked out to the dunes. It's quite a walk in sand!



Then it was time to slide and board. We all tried both and had a blast. Laura's expert at sand boarding, Adam's great at zipping down steep hills on the sled while dragging a had to direct, Jim was good at both and I conquered some irrational fears with the sand board.














The sand is incredibly soft, and the dunes unbelievably huge. 700 feet tall! We played around for a couple hours, then headed back to lunch in the camper. Home to shower and sit thru the heat of the day. I hung out in the shade and took a nap, the kids had some screen time and Jim puttered about and relaxed.
