26 June, 2010 - Sand Dunes Trip

Saturday was our first visit to the Sand Dunes. We dropped by the visitor's center before hitting the actual dunes. Once we'd picked up some souvenirs, we headed to their picnic area. Unfortunately, a car accident had happened on that particular road, so we were forced to take a detour to one of their trails. My grandparents wanted to stay in the car (and watch us make the hike with their binoculars), so we headed out.



We made it as far as the sand before pausing for pictures. My grandma decided the night before that it would be hilarious to purchase sand buckets for us to "play with". And thus, after making the hike with them, we sat down in the sand with said buckets for a photo shoot.



Before the trip, Boom and I decided that it would be awesome to get some pictures of my contact juggling ball in the sand. And it was. Which made me happy.



After the Dunes, we headed back to the RV to freshen up a bit (remove a few layers of sand and whatnot). At which point, we decided to visit a museum that my grandpa wanted to see. Unfortunately, the museum was already closed by the time we got to it. We took a drive through town and then headed back home, which is where we spotted this awesome train. I couldn't resist snapping some shots of it.



After playing ball with some neighbor boys and a supper of hot dogs, we bedded down for the night.
