Camping Adventure

We spent this past weekend in the middle of the desert!  And yes, it was on purpose!!  Friends of ours invited us again to join them for a camping trip in the desert.  Once we found out we were able to rent the same motor home as we did last year, we were in for the adventure!! 

The kids love riding in the motor home!  And they actually sit so well and are great passengers!! They also think it is very exciting to not have to sit in car seats!

Shane the rock collector!

Faith and Chloe just hangin' out!  These two had lots of fun together.

Once again, we did quite a bit of hiking.  The kids would want to go climb the "mountain" again right after climbing down!  And they were a bit more adventurous this year as they liked to climb the rocky parts!

Made it to the top!!

This year Faith rode a quad!  As you can see, it was very controlled with Steve hanging on to the end, making sure she didn't go too fast or too crazy!  She loved it!! 

Looking good on the quad, Faith!!

 We had a very nice time, as it is always fun to be with friends and do something out of the ordinary!  It did make me very thankful for electricity (we had lights in the motor home, but we had to use them sparingly!) that I don't have to think too much about using and space!  I am so grateful for a kitchen that has counter space!  And a spacious bathroom with the opportunity to shower too are not to be unappreciated!!  But that is part of the adventure of it all!
