Desert Adventure 2 - Fav Photos 2016

Journey Across the Desert

In the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, lies Great Sand Dunes National Park
and Reserve. The dunes are the tallest in North America, rising over 700 feet, and covering roughly 40 square miles.

It's like a scene out of the Sahara Desert....

It was the perfect setting for a little doll story. But I don't do well walking on soft sand, plus it was rather a far walk
to the dunes, and we had a lot of dolls, and of course it was another bright sunny day with fierce winds. So we
only took the four kids and Winston, and stayed down on the flat area where there weren't many people.

And so began their adventure in the desert....

Struggling against the wind, with the dragon pushing their cart full of supplies...

The little group went on and on, fighting the wind-blown sand....

"Oooops!" said Winston, and everyone turned to look.....

One of the wheels had fallen off....

"We have a big problem!"

"What are we going to do now?"

But Coco was quite optimistic. "I think I can fix this. We'll need to empty out the cart."

So they emptied out the cart, and Coco set to work....

With the cart fixed, and it getting late, Milo decided he and the girls would continue on and set up camp for the night.

"We are going on ahead. Once you reload the cart, you can catch up with us."
