This much snow in November??




Does it really snow this much in El Paso in November?? Or maybe we´re not in El Paso!

What do you think??

I´ll give you a hint....

These pictures we taken in White Sands, New Mexico!

I've heard so much about the white sands of New Mexico, but never imagined....

They´re amazing!

You feel like you´re driving through snow - and it´s piled high all around you!

Wow!

But as soon as you step into it, you KNOW!

Yes, it feel wet, but definitely not as chilly as snow!




And today Dakota learned how to retrieve a Frisbee! If it fell curved side down, she would scratch it till it popped up, then she´d grab it and bring it back to Ken.

As time went on, as Ken threw it further and further, as Kota ran down those steep "snowbanks" and back up again, she got slower and slower - at least climbing back up!






Finally she just laid down beside Maria.

OK, I've had enough!

She slept the entire way home (about 1 1/2 hours), even slept in the car while we stopped for lunch. Ken offered to have her get out and get a little exercise, but she was having none of it!




What fun!

Next time we´re going to take along more supplies, set up a little tent,

take a nice lunch along, maybe some "snow" (SAND!) toys, some lawn chairs, plenty of water,

and spend all day!

Want to join us?
