The Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO

Ok, so while I was out in Colorado visiting family I got to do a little traveling over the weekend that I was there. I love visiting national parks and so I was able to check another one off my list while there. We arrived after dark so I didn't get to see the Great Sand Dunes till morning. It is so fascinating to see something so random out in the middle of the desert! I had such a good day chilling on the sand, seeing some deer, and eating some amazing food that my sis-in-law cooked up for us. Nature is so therapeutic and I needed it! Isn't the light amazing?!

We got up early when everything was quiet in the campground and got to see a few deer roaming around. They have such big ears there!My nephew is such a trooper! He knows how to camp.

My brother's dog Molly couldn't get enough.

I couldn't stop taking pictures of the scenes. Check out the smoke rising in the campground! Everyone was getting up.

This was one of the nicest campgrounds I have been to. And the stars! There are so many when  your in the desert. I caught O eating rocks. This is his reaction. Love him so much!

Before heading out we went to a popular place to visit the dunes and let little O play with as much sand as he could handle. Thankfully none of it made it to his eyes! Haha.

So random! I have so many awesome memories from this time. So relaxing and chill. I will be showing some more pics soon that I took in Aspen at the Maroon Bells. Another beautiful place!
