So after Christmas and everyone recovered from the "sharing of good cheer [sickness]" we packed up and headed out to our favorite desert spot in Red Rock. We spent six glorious days camping, riding dirt bikes [heaven for kids for sure!!] sitting around the campfire, amazing food, fireworks for New Year's, games and good conversation. Truly there is nothing better :) It was never dull, Corben was almost always the first up in the morning to be dressed and out riding - and the last in...no surprise there! Maddie loved to go on rides but would inevitably fall asleep if we were gone more than 15 minutes - must have been the hum of the bike.
We had some fun in the snow on a road trip we took after getting the Land Cruiser stuck sideways in a huge snow patch....we almost spent the night. Thankfully we didn't have to -- the prayers, hard work and 1 1/2 hours digging got us out.
The weather was amazing...it was chilly at night, but during the day it was in the low 60's with just a very light breeze. We couldn't have asked for better weather out there! We can't wait to go back - we LOVE the desert! :)

I bet that was so much fun! I wish we were somewhere warm!! I need CA again.
You guys look like you had a great time! This makes me want to get out and do some exploring in the desert that surrounds us. Let me know if you have any suggestions since you used to live here.
I am amazed by you guys. That looks fun and Maddie- sleeping! That is crazy. Did you bring the bike back? How?
Sadly the bike had to stay in California...buy he does have one here although it hardly compares :)
