Sandhills

Over Spring Break the kids and I took a little trip to the Monahans Sandhills. We met up with a couple of our friends and headed over for a fun little day trip. I did not know what to expect really. The Sandhills were a lot bigger than I had imagined and it was a lot more exercise, especially carrying a 27 pound weigh every step of the way. Someone did NOT like the feel of sand, go figure. It was like the beach with no water.

I thought the Sandhills were kind of pretty. Rachel said it felt like we were in Egypt...the perfect description.

This is were Wade sat, on a towel, the whole time. He screamed when any part of his body touched the sand. Christian got him to wave at the camera for me.
You can be sure I took my turn on the sleds.
And this is how my run ended.
Cheryl speeding down the hill.
Mandi's turn... the adults were not going to miss out on the fun. I actually got more pictures of us going down than the kids.
They took turns burying each other. Cole first.
Then it was Luke's turn.
Adam and Caden. I think Caden looks pretty cool in those shades.
Sled for three.
I took Wade down the hill. He really enjoyed the ride too. He wanted to go over and over again. The problem was I had to carry him and the sled back up each time. Did I mention all the exercise this trip required?
Rachel enjoyed the trip but the picnic lunch was her favorite part.

Rolling down was just as much fun as sledding down...until the sand got into your eyes. Always keep your eyes closed.
We had such a fun time! This is a trip you have to take when the weather conditions are ideal....which they were. It would be miserable in the summertime but perfect for spring break!!
