Sand Dunes Camping Trip

Today, we returned from our 6th Annual Sand Dunes Camping Trip. Our weekend started with some nasty weather, but we ended on a sunny note and a milestone reached.

On Friday, the weather was cold and snowy, but we all had heaters and stuck it out only to be rewarded with primo campsites and beautiful hiking weather.

Emily, Reese, Amanda (Reese's friend who came along on the trip) and some of the other kids from our camping crew made it to the very top peak of the Dunes. This was the first year for doing this and they were all very excited and very tired when they got back to camp.

Snow on the Dunes. A first for us!
