Walk Like an Egyptian

Today we traveled to Egypt in a caravan (a caravan of bikes, that is) to play in the desert sand at a local park.  Colin enjoyed it so much he brought home an extra load of sand in his diaper.  After our trek through the desert we read our way up the Nile River into Egypt where we found crocodiles and mummies!

 The kids got all wrapped up in the fun then took turns lying in the sarcophagus. Colin was wiped out from the desert heat and slept through it all.  I think my niece, Marley (bottom right corner), was the cutest mummy of them all!
