The kids and I joined up with some friends and visited the
White Sands National Monument in New Mexico.
What a blast!
It was a perfect mix of snow sledding and a beach... and without the cold and the wet!
We definitely plan to go again!
We still need to clean out our van though...
and take care of our ouchy sunburns...oops!
Jonas is pretty fast at getting up the hill!
The kids loved sliding and burying themselves...
Reuben borrowed my hat to try to minimize his sunburn!
The cold sand kept us from overheating in the middle of the day.
It was cold enough that Evelyn begged for hot chocolate!
Well, she is my daughter... there never needs to be an excuse for hot chocolate!
Reuben and Troy plotting their burial (hahaha)
Leslie on top of "our" hill
Gideon enjoying the best sand park EVER!
Jonas and his friends creeping us all out with their zombie effects
Micah comforting me as he lovingly put more sand around my head...
I finally allowed them to bury me with their promise that they would all
willingly climb in the van when it was time to go.
a...a...A...AHEM, children!
