Spring Break 2013 - White Sands

On Tuesday of our trip, we headed out to White Sands, NM with Grandma and my Aunt Maureen. Michael and I had both been there once before, but not with each other, and we were looking forward to sharing it with each other and our kids! We all had such a good time! Grandma and Maureen prepared a picnic lunch for us and an Easter Egg hunt!! We flew a kite, we played in the sand...Jonathan didn't want to leave! He didn't understand why there wasn't an ocean attached to it! But we explained that it's like one big sand box and with that he said he wanted it in his back yard! We had such an amazing day! I promised Jonathan that we would bring him back, in order to get him to leave, so I really hope we do!

Where did Ben's feet go?

Michael and Ben going for a slide!

Down they went! Jonathan scooted down!



The sun was VERY bright, especially against the WHITE sand.

My Grandma let the boys wear hats that were my Grandpa's! I thought the boys looked so sweet in them. Ben liked White Sands, but his eyes were bothered by the bright sun and the sunscreen.

Ben had had enough, so Maureen took him back down!

Then we started the egg hunt!!! Thank you Aunt Maureen for the super fun treat!

Hunting for eggs! Grandma is waiting in the car. There was a cool breeze that was giving her a chill.

The eggs are hidden in the sand!

Still finding eggs!!!

Just having fun!
