On one of the Saturdays in October, Danny had a football game two hours away, in Mountain Home. We were trying to figure out something fun to do that would put us a little closer to the game. We landed on Camping at the Sand Dunes. We lucked out and got to rent one of the heated cabins for the night. We arrived just in time to play a little on the dunes (by the light of the car headlights) and to see the presentation that they had at the Observatory. We all got to look through some telescopes and get glo-stick necklaces. We then headed back to the campsite for some S'mores and Soda.
Lydia wasn't crazy about the smoke from the camp fire. What do they say about smoke following beauty?
We were glad we brought plenty of bedding. We weren't sure what to expect of the "cabin." It was barely large enough to accommodate this bunk bed with pads, a futon, a two person table and a heater--in my mind, the most important part. It was TINY...really a glorified tent...but warm and cozy! :)
After a breakfast of Bacon on Campfire Roasted Doughnuts (I let Mike plan the menu), we headed to the dunes.
All of the sledding gear that Santa brought for Christmas last year finally got some use. I am pretty sure that Santa couldn't predict that once Christmas came and went, that we would not see another lick of snow.
I kind of like Optimist Football Away Games.
