The Great Sand Hills

We spent last week at Memorial Lake.  It was an unplanned holiday and we had a wonderful, relaxing time...but, more on that at a later date.  First I must post on the Great Sand Hills. 

I must admit that one of the main reasons we wanted to go to Cypress Hills was to see the Sand Hills. So on our way home we stopped to explore.  Our kids loved the massive sandbox and we could have spent hours playing...but... little Miss Raina needed a nap so we couldn't stay as long as we would have liked.






Our little sweethearts!

And our handsome boys!


Raina screaming...she didn't want to leave!






Can you tell she is one unhappy little camper?...literally!!

We visited these last year and my kids beg to go back... it felt like they were in the middle of nowhere and I think I am good with not seeing them for a while! But they are amazing... how it is like coming upon a desert in the middle of the prairies!

Paige...We were amazed at the sudden change in the countryside as we approached Cypress Hills...God's creativity is amazing!
