It's raining...Oh wait, that's SNOW!






This last time that we went camping it snowed on us. Sometimes it rains on us or is VERY windy but the snow, that is new! The girls had so much fun in the wet stickiness. This was the kind of snow that made the best snow balls. Very wet and sticky. Hanna and Bailey made some snowmen and Conner stayed nice and dry in the motor home. We are going to have to watch out for Hanna, she is now wanting to JUMP the Razor. I have to think that is going to cause some grief in the future. She even asked if you could do that in a car. Again I say, TROUBLE! Bailey got into a fight with the back of Hannah F.'s boot, hence the fatty lip. They were climbing up a hill and she got booted in the mouth. Even though we were motor home bound longer than we like, we still had a blast. The kids are getting better every time that we go. I think that we will try to do something different in the future so it doesdn't seem like we are just desert rats. I am thinking DISNEYLAND!!! Who is with me???

DIRTY smiles!




Dirty smiles after a long ride. We love baby wipes still! Conner is not ever very dirty because he is in the front most of the time and the poor guy who gets stuck behind him is always a little dirtier that they should be. Conner is a big fan of roosting you if you happen to follow him. I will get him someday!

Mojave Desert, Christmas 2008






The past couple of years we have been going out to the Mojave Desert between Christmas and New Year's. This year was no different. We always have such a blast out there. We usually do some sort of 'family' ride, for the younger riders and those of us who value all of our body parts attached. The 'big' guys usually do a man ride in the morning or late afternoon. We went in to the Borax mine and took a little tour of the facility and saw a movie on what exactly borax is. Pretty interesting stuff actually. It was a 50 mile round trip ride, and our smallest bikes only have 3rd gear so it was some slow going. Hanna and Bailey were freezing when we got back to camp but they were troopers and we did not have any wipeouts or bike issues. Although we did loose one of our adults, Tracey. He thought that everyone was following him and apparently no one was. He showed up in camp about 10 minutes after we got in. You can see by the smiles that we all love it! I guess you cvan't with the helmets on. And I am slowly getting caught up with the blog! I will give you a run down of the pics: Conner just waiting to go, Randy and Bailey pinnin it, Tracey(the one who got lost) and Randy making sure that we are going the right way, Hanna waiting to go too, and Randy getting the awning put away. It can get pretty windy out there.
