Every Thanksgiving since I was little my family has gone to Anza Borrego to camp. Some years Brian and I go out a few days late so that we can spend Thanksgiving Day with his family. That was the plan this year until Brian got horribly sick with a killer cold that started out looking possibly flu-ish. In order to attempt to not get his germies, Austin and I drove down Friday morning by ourselves. And Brian actually felt semi-good enough to come down Saturday. Lots of driving for the 3 of us (it's about a 3 hour drive - more if you take the wrong exit like I did!) And then we all drove home Saturday night. Short trip but we still had a great time visiting with family.
Since I didn't have a blog last Thanksgiving, here are some from Austin's 1st trip out to the desert! (Granted he didn't spend much time out in the desert - just mostly in the comfort of my parents' motorhome!)
This year we did about the same! Normally we go off-roading but being all big and preggo, I didn't feel it would be prudent to do so. If McKenna has any chance of not being as ditzy as her momma, we figured it would be good not to jostle her around a bunch and save all those precious brain cells. So we just hung around camp and schooled Auntie Susan in card games! We did make it outside a few times but Austin is about as impressed with sand as he is grass, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside!
Some favorite shots of the weekend...
You wouldn't think the desert could be beautiful, but I think it always is! I love this place!
A gorgeous sunset.
Me and my precious boys! (I heart Austin's beanie so much in this pic!!)
Austin playing with his Auntie Suz and cousins. (Yes, Boomer counts as a cousin!)
My brother was clever and brought a projector and screen and everyone had movie nights outside. We obviously camp the old fashioned way.
My niece and nephew pretending they are on Santa's sleigh. Boomer is the reindeer!
A gorgeous double rainbow
It's possible that Bryce's beanie is a little big.
