Inland Sea/Dune Bashing

We took Tony to drive in the sand dunes and see the Inland Sea this past weekend.  It continues to be an adventure each time we come out there.  This time our friends, Julie, Paul and their children Jack, Charlie, and Tillie followed us out along with Ken, Esther and family.  I continue to be amazed at the cool landscape here.

I have been playing with the panoramic picture on the iphone and LOVE the way this one turned out!





Avery getting more driving practice








Looking down from the top of the super steep soft dune.  The kids all have run down to the bottom and are trying to climb back up.  The camera can't give this dune justice as it is so steep that you think, "I am not driving my car down that!"  It looks like the car would flip end over end.





Half way up!


Natalie and Millie almost to the top


Chase made it and is super winded!

The sand at the top of the dune is usually not as soft as it was this day.  First Ken's car got stuck....





Chase and Bobby on the slope of the dune

Then Tony got Bobby's truck stuck....

Tony says "OH NO!"


Digging out the sand

We arrived to the Inland Sea after fun driving in the dunes.  It was as beautiful as ever.

The kids buried Charlie all the way up to his head in the sand.  It was the funniest looking thing to see a head just laying on the ground looking like it wasn't attached to anything.

Charlie and Jack (Charlie's head at least)


Sooo funny!!!
