Giant Sandbox

Last weekend Eli, Aly, and I went to the Great Sand Dunes in Southern Colorado for a quick weekend trip. What an awesome place! I can't believe I've lived in CO for so long and have never been there. We definitely recommend this as a weekend trip for anyone. The Dunes themselves are amazing, but our favorite part of the trip was playing in Medano Creek. It was probably only a foot deep at it's deepest places but it was still so fun! Perfect for playing frisbee in!

Baby Morey and I are ready to tackle the dunes. We climbed to the highest dune, and let me tell you, hiking in sand is no easy task. It is TIRING! The tallest dune is in the left of this picture at the very top.

Aly dragged the sled all the way to the top so that we could sled down the dunes on our way down. (If you are planning on sledding on sand dunes, use a saucer, not a long sled - long sleds don't work!)


As we started getting near the highest dune, the wind picked up. It was SO strong and the sand was blowing into us really hard. It literally felt like a thousand needles jabbing into your body. We only stayed at the top for a few minutes because it was painful and kind of a frightening experience with the wind being so strong!
The view from the top was INCREDIBLE!! You can see the wind blowing the sand off the dunes in this picture.

Don't be deceived - she's barely even moving!
