Unfortunately, I don't think they make wetsuits in her size and it may be awhile before we make it back to the warm waters of Central America or Hawaii.
Despite the great distance between us and any ocean (JR keeps reminding me of this fact), we managed to find the next best thing. Sand. Lots of Sand. There wasn't any surfing to be had, but it was a good place to start.
Bruneau Dunes State Park is about an hour from Boise and is home to the largest single-structured sand dune in North America. 470 feet to be exact. We decided this wasn't the day to try our favorite winter activities at this unlikely venue. Mostly because I fall down a lot and I couldn't imagine that a head over heals descent of the dune would be good for whichever baby happened to be along for the ride. We'll leave that for this guy, who appears to be free of passengers.
Our day included our first outdoor feeding without the comfort of the couch, the aid of the boppy, or the large stack of clean burp cloths nearby...
a hike around the lake...
This was the first time John or I had been to the Bruneau Dunes despite it being an easy day trip. Our priorities had always been on other grand (but not as grand as parenthood) adventures.
Stay tuned as we explore other nearby destinations in the coming months.
