The Sand Dunes Redux

On Monday morning, we took Mom to chemo and then the girls and I headed out for another try at the sand dunes. We figured we'd get out there early in the morning, before the sand heated up to roughly the same temperature as the surface of the sun. It was a lot of fun. We found a little shade, slathered up in sunblock, and just played for a couple of hours.

As if I needed one more example of how small the world is and what a weird nexus of past and present Rexburg is, as we were getting ready to leave, a couple of families were walking by us headed for the tall dune nearby and when they passed, one of the women stopped and said, "Mark?" Turns out, it was Andrea Kunz, Suzanne's former Ricks College roommate. She and her family were traveling through on their way to a camping trip in Yellowstone and they wanted to take a quick break at the dunes. Small world, eh?
