Sand Dunes

We had a fun trip to the Sand Dunes with Corey and Jeffrey. It had been years since I had been there and I had forgotten how wonderful it is. Except for the walk down to the water. That was just as hot as ever. An maybe more difficult because we had to carry Noah up and down the dunes, so he wouldn't burn his little feet. Noah was pretty much fearless in the water because he had his magic water shoes. The water was much colder than I ever remember it being, this is probably due to the fact they are draining the water above Lower Granite Dam. We had about 100 yards of ankle deep water before we made it out to the shelf. Here is Corey, Noah and Andy walking, and walking, and still walking out to the deep water.

And lifeguard Jeffrey, running out to save the victims in the shallow water.

Andy was the first to dunk all the way into the cold water.

And then Noah wanted to go with him out to the depths of coldness.

But unlike me, Noah didn't mind the cold water. He just wanted to be in it. He is so brave!

Corey lounging on the air mattresses.

And then me, in a not so graceful attempt at getting on an air mattress without getting too cold and wet. Everyone was laughing at my idiocy.

Sisters always keep each other a float. If only the other two were with us! It would have been like old times.

I love Noah's toothy smiles.

Group photo minus Jeffrey who was behind the camera.

Noah and I lounging together.

Now Andy is dragging Corey in with him. Jeffrey is the only one of us who he didn't manage to dunk.

He were all tired and ready to go home so we packed everything up and headed home.

On the drive home, we went through Clarkston for some DELICIOUS 4-10 drive-in ice cream. There is nothing better than that. A fun day with friends, ice cream, and then I made tater tot casserole for dinner. Yum!
