It's beginning to look a lot like...

the desert?

But doesn't it look like snow? Life has been so crazy I never posted our pictures from our trip to White Sands National Park. It was very, very hot.

Miles and miles of pure white crystal sand. We brought some sleds and treated it like snow.

It was fun to go down the hills in shorts.

But sand has a bit more friction than snow so the sledding wasn't quite as good.

It was amazing to see and the boys and girl had fun as usual. We went camping nearby in the mountains too but I forgot to take pictures of our campsite.

This is the best we got. Emery was a great helper.
