Jacob and Shauna at the entrance of White Sands
Our hotel gave us sleds and wax to slide down the dunes!
Sisters! (Check out my rad $1 sunglasses!)
Jacob caught this cool white lizard
What a daredevil!
Shauna ready to slide down the dune!
Oh yeah - even the pregnant lady in on the action!
And Sebby-lou, too!
Seb is melting into the sand
Shauna enjoying the hot summer sun
I'm turning into a sand lady!
Seb looked absolutely cute/ridiculous with his gum on his pants and sand all over his face

Look at the white, white sand!
The only thing missing is the ocean!
Cutie lovebirds :)
Almost buried!
This weekend, Jacob and Shauna joined Sebastian and I for a short tour of southern New Mexico. Seb hadn't been much further south than Albuquerque, so we took advantage of my four-day weekend to visit White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. We are so happy Jacob and Shauna could come along for the fun, too - it was so wonderful getting to know them better. I can't believe they are approaching their 1-year anniversary in two short weeks!
We left Albuquerque on Friday afternoon and arrived at the dunes around 4:30p. The sun was hot, but the sand was surprisingly cool on our feet! The sand was so bright it burned our eyes - thank goodness for sun glasses! Our hotel gave us sleds and wax to slide down the dunes. It didn't work well (we went reeeeally slow) but it was still fun. I especially enjoyed getting buried in the sand. After playing in the hot sun for awhile, we took a rest in the shade of a dune and played some cards.
That evening, we had dinner at a local restaurant (Si Senor) and then went swimming in the hotel pool. It was hilarious putting my bathing suit on because as soon as I took my clothes off, a bunch of sand fell to the bathroom floor from my bra! Ha ha! After swimming, we watched A Few Good Men on TV and played a round of Canasta (our new favorite, thanks to Noah and Laura!). What a fun day!
