I'm definitely trying to play catchup with blogging. I'm either on a roll (which means I may post 2-3 times a month) or in a rut. Lately I've been in a rut, but have so many posts in my head I really want to catch-up. So, I'm hoping to get a few knocked out over the next several days. We'll see if a certain one year old and two year old will allow mommy some time to make that happen. :)
So, since this is a catching up post.... a recent fun activity for our family (we decided very spur of the moment one Saturday morning) was to embark on a trip out to the sandhills, about 45 minutes away. I had no idea what to expect, having not grown up in west Texas, but David assured me the sandhills were pretty neat. I was picturing sand dunes, like in Galveston...these were much more impressive!
Before we left we picked up both donuts and breakfast burritos (yep, two stops - David LOVES it when I request 2 things for breakfast) and hit the road. Well, turns out Colton already had a few donut holes with daddy before I hopped in the truck and gave him a few more. So, the little guy fell into a sugar coma. After his glassy eyed looks started making me anxious, I made David pull over so we could check on him and he was fine,- but passed out asleep 5 seconds later. He still favors waking up in the 5:00 hour, so sleepy and sugar equaled passing out.
The sandhills were a blast.
The sand feels amazing to the touch. Sadie sat and raked her hands through the sand for hours. She also ate roughly half a cup of sand.
Colton, David, and I climbed lots of hills to slide back down.
We were the only ones around most of the time, so there was lots of screaming and laughing.
Sadie got to slide too.
Colton was so cute to watch trudging through the sand, while Sadie tried her best to keep up with all of us- crawling or being carried. What a workout!
It was one of our favorite experiences as a family.
Colton cried when we left, so that's always a sign of him having a good time. It'll be fun to go back sometime soon.
