I always love catching a picture of the boys when they are intently looking at some unknown object. I wonder what’s going through their brain? Any ideas? I would love a caption!
Wordless Wednesday ~ The Sun Set and Moon Rise
February 2, 2010 By 18 Comments
We went camping in the desert this weekend to Gordons Well in the Imperial Sand Dunes. The sun was setting and the moon was rising at the same time. Looking West and you saw the sky on FIRE and if you turned to face the East we got calm and cool with the moon rise. It was very cool to have them both happening at the same time. I wish I was a better photographer to capture the true beauty of the moon, but I am really happy with the way the sunset picture turned out.
Camping in the Desert

We got home yesterday afternoon from a beautiful weekend in the California Desert. I think it was high 70′s during the day and low 40′s at night. Which was pretty darn cold when you are in a tent! But it was certainly bearable considering we have been out there in colder weather.
We also broke in a new tent since our last one was destroyed in a wind storm last season. This tent was awesome! It was an Ozark brand and I picked it up at Walmart for $120 bucks and it was HUGE. Too big even for our little tent heater to do much good. But it was nice to have a big tent that we could all fit in without walking all over each other. You should of seen us trying to set it up for the first time in the dark. Fun times.
The little people got to go on their first ride. My Uncle Alan took them for a short spin in his Razor and they came back grinning ear to ear. I wasn’t sure if they would like it because every time someone fired up a quad they would say it was “too loud!” They ended up enjoying it very much. NayNay even went out on a longer “real” ride the next day with his Grandpa. BoBo didn’t go on that one because he was “done camping” and wanted to go home. Typical.
We had no major catastrophes with my boys. Everyone had a wonderful time and the boys were good as gold. A friend of ours, however, was not so lucky. He was out on the quads when he flipped over. Cody ended up with a broken collar bone, bruised lung and torn leg muscle. Lucky for him, he was riding with my paramedic cousin who patched him up and got him back to camp. From there his parents took him to the hospital. He will be fine, he’s a tough kid.
Of course, I have a TON of pictures. I’ve got them posted as a gallery since there are so many. Feel free to click on them to make them bigger.

NayNay's Ride with Grandpa
I think we’ll be going out again in January. I really hope to have a trailer soon so we don’t have to freeze our butts off on the cold ground. That’s the only thing that sucks, the lack of sleep. Oh well, now to try and catch up around here. I have a TON of stuff to get posted. Wee!
Gordons Well Weekend!
February 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It worked out this weekend that I got to go camping and take only my oldest son with me. Bob stayed home with the twins. It was kinda sad and I was bummed about it at first, but it worked out good and me and Mr. A. had a GREAT time! It was nice not chasing after two 2 year olds! It was also nice that I didn’t have to wipe any butts. Woot!
I have a big family. Everyone has quads and other off road vehicles. My dad has a Rhino. It’s a lot of fun to go out on the dunes. This weekend we went to the Gordons Well. Usually we camp in a tent, but since it was just me and Mr. A, we got to shack up with my parents in their trailer. The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Mr. A. really likes to go for rides. I’m thinking I’m going to have to get him a quad before long. He’s gonna be a desert rat for sure!
Anyhow, I got lots of pictures. Here you have them.
