Great Sand Dunes National Park
Monday morning, we got up and caught a few more frogs. Then we packed up and drove to Sand Dunes National Park. By arriving in the morning, we were able to get an excellent campsite with a great view of the dunes.
After lunch, Erica and I went down to play in Medano Creek. Marianne and I had never seen the creek so high. The creek was like a beach scene, with kids playing in the sand, adults trying to stay dry, and the creek flowing, but never over a foot deep. We gave a couple of older ladies a ride back to the visitor center, as they did not want to hike back. While we were at the creek, Marianne and Ariana worked on a big cat jigsaw puzzle.
In the evening, Erica, Ariana and I hiked down to the creek, for more playing. Where we were, there were fewer people, but more mosquitoes.
We talked about going to the ranger talk, but it was raining on and off, so we decided not to go.

We loved to play in the sand. Ari did not want to go to the river the first time. We had a great time, and we hope that you are doing great.
