Only
a few minute’s drive from our house
is a heap of sand so big that people come
from
hundreds of miles away to play there with dune buggies,
four-wheelers and
motorcycles.
Our
family has been known to join in the insanity
of careening over the dunes
without any way of knowing
if there’s a cliff or an oncoming vehicle over the
next hill.
We
pretended we went to Tatooine to look for
womp rats, banthas and jawas.
Failing that, the youngsters decide to re-create...
the Great Pit of Carkoon to capture prey.
Keeping an eye out for Tusken Raiders,
Young T works swiftly on the excavation.
Baby J helps.
Young T makes a hole big enough
to hold Jabba the Hutt.
He fits!
They use The Force to put their victim under a spell.
He surrenders his wallet, his keys and his cell phone.
Quick! Bury him before he regains his senses.
Wow. How did that happen?
You kids come back with my car!
How cute, he's trying to dig himself out.
Baby J helps.
He's getting out...RUN!
cute. just stay clear of the motorized vehicles!

I want to enjoy a sand bath at there, and want to try a sand ski along the slope. (*'ー'*)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and like summer is still in full swing for you. Which is exactly as it should be, right up until the moment your teeth start chattering. I must say, I am impressed by your impressive Star Wars lexicon....
ReplyDeletesnad gets everywhere! What a fun day..oh the Baby J is a looker..I could cuddle with him!:)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun way to spend an afternoon. Where are these dunes? They look huge.
ReplyDeleteSee, I'm with TexWisGirl--I was a bit worried that someone would come over a hill on a 4 wheeler and plow into you.
ReplyDeleteOn another subject--I really, really hate sand in my clothes and just seeing your sweet hubby buried made me all squirmy. :)
