Sandy dunes

Our kids begged us to the Sand Dunes on Memorial Day because their friend was going, too. We relented even though the weather didn't look ideal. It was cold when we got there and just got colder. At one point I had to turn back with half the kids and the dog and we just huddled in a blanket until everyone else came back. Still, though, it was a fun visit. Lots of running and leaping and trudging back up. We brought snow sleds but they didn't work at all for us. And one of them disappeared when we left them for a bit. The sand would make a neat "whoop" sound when we'd try to clap it together. The river was wide and lovely and FREEZING. Gotta go back on a warmer day. But not TOO warm.
