Anyway, we have visited the sand dunes before and had a horrible time. I guess this is why we hadn't returned in the last 3 years. Dana, Eva and I went in July 2006. It's kind of weird looking at photos from that event and seeing Eva as a 1.5 year old and Micah in the womb. Weird. When we went in July it was 40 plus degrees and was absolutely no fun. Eva cried the whole time. But the kids are older now and it's winter here in Torreon which means it's only 27, so we thought we'd give it another go. IT WAS AWESOME!
We had originally thought it would be nice to get a family photo out there. But after Micah and Eva face planted on the first dune we thought better of it.
First things first, we have to get to the top of the dune.
Micah chose to slide down.
Eva chose to jump down. We tried to give her direction on leaning back but I guess it just didn't register with her. Good thing the sand was super soft.
Normally Eva cries in these embarrassing situations but not this time. She came up laughing hard.
Micah was trying to see how dirty he could get.
Now Eva is getting it. Cool.
Back to getting dirty.
Eva was having so much fun going down.
...not so much fun walking back up.
And Micah dirty again.

Josh was beaching it.
Kicking it back with Mom.
Okay, so the pants Micah wore were a touch too big. So he decided to strip down to his undies. I love this shot. Micah walking out in the desert in just his undies. Awesome.
So then I asked Micah if he had to go pee and he said no. However, judging from the sand stuck to the front of his underwear I'd say he'd already taken care of business.
This was supposed to be just a shot of me but it's far better with Micah in it. Too funny.
The dunes looked amazing at the end of the day.
Time to hustle back to the van before the sun sets.
What a great outing!
