Sand Dunes

My cousin, Heather, and her family were in town on a vacation and we decided to join them at the Sand Dunes in Snow Canyon.  We love the sand dunes because there is so much area to play in and the kids love it.  It had been really hot during the week so we went in the morning to try and beat the heat.  Well, it ended up a cool and really windy morning!

When the kids and I arrived at Snow Canyon, the line to get in was really long.  It took about 20 minutes just to get through the gate, and we have a year pass so we didn't have to stop and pay.  We parked and began walking to the dunes to try and find Heather and her family.  We hadn't gone long when we found them, sitting in a little valley with some upset kids.  It was really windy and sand was blowing everywhere, so it was miserable.  We did end up staying in the valley for about an hour while the kids played but we would have to stop once in a while to close our eyes and try to avoid a big gust of sand.  It was insane.

There were a lot of people there and I couldn't believe it because it was so windy that it was miserable.  But the kids had a great time digging and playing.
