Eureka

On Friday, Stephen & I decided to take the kids to play in the sand at Little Sahara to celebrate the first day of spring. We took the back way & came upon an old mining town. It was very run down & shabby, but a really fun place to explore & take pictures.
What made us stop instead of driving through is Porter Rockwell's cabin.

After taking pictures of the cabin, I looked up & down the street & realized how much character the town had.

We decided to explore:









There were plenty of places for photo opps:

After touring main street, we piled back into the van & drove to Little Sahara. Originally, we were planning on taking Steve's motorcycle, but it needed too much maitence work & we didn't want to waste most of the day tinkering with it. So we just played in the sand:

The kids had a blast digging in the sand, chasing lizards, & doing "Jedi Jumps" off the dunes.





We took Daisy with us. She did really well, we had her off the leash most of the day. She stayed right by us & climbed Sand hills, jumped down them & dug in the sand.

At the end of the day, we dug a deep pit & then buried the girls in it. Jonathan made a mermaid fin for Hannah:
