The World's Largest Sandbox

On Friday we played in The World's Largest Sandbox. It was quite amazing! Much more than I had expected! The sand dunes are in Death Valley, about an hour away from Ridgecrest. A part of Star Wars was actually filmed in Death Valley!


Dust devil.

They look so little, but they are huge! We couldn't bring the cameras out on the dunes because the fine sand would ruin the cameras.

This sign was on the way to Death Valley. Sadly we didn't see any wild burros. But it was a very amusing sign to us Canadians. Waxing up the boards prior to the trek out to the sand dunes...

Ready to go!

It was a blast! We were covered in sand! Gavin liked going down the dunes on the board, but Emily and I prefered swimming. Yes, swimming. The dunes are so steep you can propel yourself down by "swimming" down. I think this should be on everybody's bucket list.
