Spring Day at the Park

Climbing the hill, exploring the trails....





At the top, what a view!





Giant natural sandbox

What a fun-filled spring day!

Glimpses of Grayson

Grabbed my camera when I noticed Grayson sitting in a patch of sunlight --



















After a bath, Grayson enjoys an evening snack - tapioca pudding.

More Kodak Moments from Bruneau Dunes

Gary took these photos on his iphone ~ enjoy these awesome shots by Gary....

We're pretty high up!

Notice the snow-capped mountains in the distance.



Gretchen, relaxin'....

Gordy's sweet smile

Mommy & Grayson, enjoying the sun & sand

"I can see my house from here....!" (Well, not quite.)



Puddle jumpers



Feet



I love all the hands and feet photos Gary got....



This one is so cool -- it only appears to be midnight. Gordon & Grayson, walking along a sand ridge in the bright sunshine. Very interesting, cool lighting.

Great shots, Gary! ♥

Bruneau Sand Dunes

Wind-whipped & sun-kissed, we're home -- after a fun-filled day at Bruneau Sand Dunes.
Here we are, setting off to climb the dunes....

Temperatures were in the 60's today - a little windy at the top of the hill, but a glorious day overall!







Gordy's socks blew part way down the hill...he chased them down, giggling all the way back up.

The people and dog in the background give some dimension to how high up we were.

Playing in the sand for hours -- therapeutic, like a day at the spa....





What a view -- beauty all around us.
That's Grayson below, playing in the sand and singing heartily to himself.













There's a lot to explore here....







Studying caterpillars and sand beetles....





Pit stops at the education center before heading home. Hugs & happiness after a wonderful day together. (You can see the sand that collected in Gordy's nostrils -- we'll be finding sand for days, I'm sure....)

Back in Boise -- we waited in the car while Gary ran in to pick up the Chinese take-out we ordered for an easy dinner. Yum!

Grayson snoozed for most of the drive home.

What an incredible way to celebrate the 1st day of spring together!!
♥ We LOVE Idaho! ♥
