Sledding...Texas Style

I love winter sledding and have such fond memories of family sledding outings. As a mom, I see how much work goes into these outings for the parents, but it is so worth the time. Since we have no snow, we chose a beautiful 65-70 degree day and headed out to the Sand Dunes. We didn't stay as long as we had hoped, because it was windier than their reports said. But, we all had fun anyway. At the end of the day, instead of wiping up pools of snow melting off children's boots and clothing, we vacuumed sand. We just couldn't let a Christmas Vacation go by without a sledding expedition!

We thought it was a little silly to post a warning sign about "Loose Sand" right in front of the sign that welcomes you to the sand dunes.What the heck?! Speed Limit 80?!!
