Can you say Huacachina?

On Saturday afternoon, we had the opportunity to take the Girasoles to a place called Huacachina. It is literally an oasis in the middle of the desert. Legend has it that a mermaid lives in the oasis, but I'm a skeptic. Anyways, there was a wedding taking place here on Scripture Union's property, so we decided that it would be fun to take the boys elsewhere for the day. We packed lunch and headed out. It was a great afternoon. We got to swim, fish, boat, and sandboard! For those of you who don't know what sandboarding is, I will leave you with some pictures and videos! It is basically snowboarding in the sand. Instead of eating snow when you fall down, you eat sand. Not necessarily the most pleasant experience when you fall, but it is fun none the less.
