Indiana Dunes: Take TWO!

 Our ward craft group goes every year to the Indiana Dunes for our August activity! It was a little chilly when we first got there so we thought we do the Dunes first and since we didn't get to them last time the kids were itching to go.

 We did an easy one since they had never done it and I didn't have Brett with me to help carry kids if needed.   Poor Giselle she was such a trooper but she was breathing so heavy and was on her hands and knees the most of the time. I did end up carrying her for a little bit but not much. She really wanted to do it herself. She was so red when we got to the top.

 We finally made it to the top.  Here are a few of the fun kids that were there with us. Doesn't that look so beautiful? Amazing what world we live in.

                      We gave them the green light to run down the Dune.

 Giselle wiped out pretty quickly.

 Jacob LOVED running down. Doesn't he look like Dash from "The Incredibles"?

 His little legs were full steam ahead but than...........

 Face plant.  He didn't mind at all and got right back up and ran.

 Then it was time for some swimming...the big girls are on a sand bar in the middle of the lake. They loved feeling like they are walking on water.

 Snacks are always important. Jacob chowing on pringles. Giselle ate almost an entire box of blueberries.

 Playing in the sand is so fun..even for adults. This is a fort right next to us. They brought big shovels and worked a long time...yes Adults...I love all the flags and little army men. Too fun!

 Here are the kids working on their tunnel/ hot tub.  They used only their hands and worked a LONG time. It was crazy how big they got it and how long they worked on it and loved it.

 Another shot of them climbing the dunes.

It's always fun to go with friends. Here I am with the super cute Sara!  What a great trip and fun time! Thanks Ladies!!
