Great Sand Dunes



This is a video of Robin at the Sand Dunes being...well... Robin.  Of course he tells everyone that I pushed him lol, but we all know better :O).  Yesterday we went to the Great Sand Dunes (obviously) and hiked up the dunes (lol...more like crawled and clawed our way to the first ridge then called it good!).  We took a sled with us but it didn't work so great, bummer, because poor Robin drug that stupid sled all over the place for us and it didn't work.


I was amazed at the number of people that were there, it was packed.  After our 'hike' we changed into our swimsuits and played in the creek.  It was really windy out and sand blew everywhere, that kinda sucked and really burns on the bare skin.  We are sporting some interesting sunburns today.  I love looking in the mirror the next morning and seeing all the places I missed with the sunscreen lol!  We drove home through Buena Vista, we were going to stop at the Hot Springs there, but it costs like $17 for adults and $10 for kids, talk about a rip off!  So we got ice cream, played at the park and came home.


We unloaded the truck and took showers when we got home.  It amazes me that Robin, Kam and I had a Sand Dune each in our suits, shoes, hair and ears and Brytt didn't have a speck of sand on her lol.  She has skills :O)


Here are a few pics of our day:






















These last 3 are of the fire that is burning north of the dunes.
