sunday

One of our favorite things to do when we go to Crystal Mountain is the Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Someday we'll have to explore more of the park... but with limited time this trip the climb was on our "must do" list.

So... we got up, had breakfast, checked out and headed out to the dunes.

going up....
and up....
and then running down....
and down....
The kids could do that all day.... climbing up and running down. They also spent a lot of time digging in the sand.

Last year the sand was really dry, so getting traction was harder, leading to some spectacular falls on their trips down. This year the sand was wet so it was easier to keep your balance. But somehow, Clara still managed to do a face plant on one of her trips down....
We never were able to get all of the sand off until we got home and got her in the shower. Poor girl had to ride home like that! :-)

Okay... I'm off!

Happy Thursday! (how in the heck did it get to be thursday already???)
