On Friday, February 12, we began what would be our longest desert camping trip! We were going to stay for three nights instead of our usual two nights! Each year we are learning more, discovering ways to make things easier, and basically how to enjoy the trip more and more! We picked up a motor home along the way, which was our home for the next three nights!
We camped in the same spot as usual, and also as usual, the kids wanted to go for a hike about as soon as we arrived!
One new addition to the trip this year was Shane's dirt bike! Here he is wearing all of his riding gear and ready for his first ride!
While I was very nervous about the whole thing, Shane proved to be a quick learner, as well as a very cautious driver!
Another picture of the rider! Steve was never too far behind, and he taught Shane well!
Olivia had fun playing with sand toys and just running around! The outfit in the picture is what she wore the ENTIRE weekend! She kept telling us it was her desert style! I just wished she had told me she was going to wear what she picked out that Friday morning the entire weekend as I wouldn't have packed her anything else!
Faith also decided she needed a turn on the dirt bike! She also did well and had fun!
In preparing to go camping, one of the biggest questions I wrestle with is "what are we going to eat????" This is definitely one of the areas in which we have really learned! Pictured is one of our breakfasts! Having the bbq is a major help in the meal prep! Another highlight was grilling carne asada one of the nights!
The other families who camp with us have desert riding toys as well. One family let Steve borrow their Rhino to take the kids to the place where we used to camp that is no longer accessible with the trailers.
More of the crew heading to the Cliffs!
Shane is excited to get back out and ride his new bike again!
