Sand Dunes

Last weekend we went to the Little Sahara sand dunes. This was our first camping trip with Brynlee. At first i was a little skeptical about taking her. I wasn't sure how we were gonna get water for her bottles, keep her warm at night and just overall take care of her in the desert. Then my parents decided to come and all my nervousness was calmed. They have a trailer so i wasn't worried that we weren't gonna be able to take care of her. We were both so excited to go camping that we got up way super early on friday, packed the car and headed north. The weather was awesome when we got there and i was so excited to be outdoors instead of cooped up in our apartment. Chris went on tons of rides with my brothers while the girls stayed back and camp and played with the kids. Brynlee had so much fun in the sun and she loved the jumper my sis in-law brought. I bought her some cute hats at Wal-mart and oh man did she look cute! i will post pictures of her soon!! Chris had been begging me to let him take me up the "valley" the whole week so when we got there, he started begging even more. The "valley" is this HUGE, STEEP mountain covered in sand. Chris has never taken someone up there with him so i was a little nervous. I finally gave in and went with him so he could feel manly!!! haha. Needless to say, it was a BAD decision. Chris missed a gear on the way up and we stalled in the middle of the mountain. I had to get off of the 4-wheeler so he could turn it around. I was soooo scared. The mtn is so steep that i felt like i was gonna tip right over and roll down. Luckily my brother followed us up and i hopped on with him and he drove me down the mtn. Chris felt so bad and wanted to take me up again so he could redeem himself. Inside i was saying, "hell NO!!!" but his face was so sad and cute that i decided to go one more time. And we made it up and back down with safely!!! He was so excited that he took me up but i will NEVER do it again. hahaha. I am not a huge fan of the dunes especially now that we have Brynlee but our family friends have a sand rail. They are pretty much like a car and have a corvet engine in them. They are huge and scary. Everyone was going on rides and saying how fun it was and that i needed to go. NO WAY was i going after our little mishap on the valley. But once again i gave in and im glad i did. It was soooo much fun and i actually felt really safe on it. The thing was a beast and we were rallying all over that mtn! The weekend was a blast. We lounged in the sun, laughed, ate WAY to much, and had fun with all our friends and family!! I am looking forward to the summer so we can go on more fun camping trips!
