We headed up to Idaho this past weekend so that Grant and Carlin could have some dental work done. Grant had to have 5 teeth pulled to prep him for braces this summer. We are hoping to avoid some of the chains and headgear Carlin wore for the same issues. After all was said and done we were still coherent enough to go on a bike ride. We just couldn't pass up the flat terrane that surrounds Klint and Betsy's home.
On our drive home we stopped at the sand dune(s) just past Mountain Home. There is one large dune and a few smaller dunes that all surround this little lake in the middle of nowhere. It was really amazing and we climbed up, over and around the smaller dunes. It was like playing in a giant sand box. The sand was very soft and smooth, but it was a lot hotter on back side where the sun had been shinning all morning. The wind was always blowing, but every now and then a big gust would about blow us away, especially at the top of the dunes the wind was really blowing. Still, we dug tunnels in the sand, ran and jumped down the face of the dunes and got sand in our ears, pockets and throughout our hair. We looked beautiful when we stopped for lunch.

Hey, great pictures! Thanks for taking pictures of the bike riding. I LOVE the ones of you guys at the Sand Dunes. They turned out great. We may have to make a trip out there just for some good photo ops. We were so glad to have you come play and hope you'll come back soon!!
Man those dunes bring back many a memory from my young scouting years. We went quite often. We are always warn out, but it was sure great fun......except for the sand in everything. hahaha
