The Sand Dunes

This weekend we decided to go to The Great Sand Dunes National Park here in CO. It was a bit further south than we thought, but we had a fun time.

Here are a couple of Mountain peaks on our way there they are over 14000 ft.


Here are Dreako Tavin and I after hiking about half way up. (no I didn't push Tavin he just wanted to play in the sand and wouldnt stand up)

This is the view from the sand dunes

Adrian Mclane and Dreako after more hiking.

This is the rest of the way to the top and Tavin is leaving mom in the dust.

I will call this the before the pain hit picture, there isn't an after shot, to tired.

Adrian and Mclane heading to the top.

The little figures are the boys almost to the top.

I finally got a picture of Tavins face... almost !

After Mclane and Adrian got so far Mclane gave up and I had to go rescue him while Adrian made it to the top. He is the little dot on top.

Dreako gave up as well.

On the way down Mclane thought it would be fun to slide down some of the hills.

Some were rather steep but he had fun, and I took Tavin down as well.

On our way home there were deer all along the side of the road we saw some big bucks, we know where to go next year for the deer hunt!

We had a great time, even though it was colder than we thought it would be, When we left it was almost 60 after going two hours south it dropped about 20 degrees.
We are enjoying being here in CO and all the out door things we can do, even if I cant walk the next day!
