Desert Storm

The wind and rain storms in the weather forecast wasn't enough to keep us away from spending the weekend in Ocotillo Wells.

Braden loves riding his quad and is developing a liking for his dirt bike too. He's already looking forward to doing some tricks on his bike!

You never know what you might find in the middle of the desert...Amongst an array of beautifully unique rocks, Braden spotted a ladybug. Daddy can't be the only cool parent, so I went for some rides on my dirt bike with Braden. Sadly, he is probably better than I am, so he will be teaching me a thing or two!
Addison rode Braden's quad while he cruised around on his dirt bike. Braden has a hard time not being silly every time he sees a camera.
The rains created a ton of mud, so our Rhino was a mess! This monkey didn't mind at all.
Braden asked how old he has to be before he can drive his friends around in the Rhino....Haha! "Much older," was my answer.
Braden had a blast racing around the track Daddy created for him.
Addison dozed off, but Braden was determined to get as little sleep as possible this weekend!

What?! A smile? That must have been an accident!

Sorry Gramma, this was the best I could get!

We made a visit to the "lost city" which is filled with lots of rock statues and creations.

Braden showed off just a bit on his quad, especially when another little boy was racing around with him. Daddy created a passing lane so Braden wouldn't get stuck going slow behind the other rider. Braden loved cruising over these jumps standing up.

Braden brought along 2 of his monster trucks on a Rhino ride. He said Addison loves trucks, and apparently he was right.

We suggested that Braden take a little break from riding to relax a bit....Running around in Daddy's jacket was his version of chilling out!
