Was it a mirage????

No.... We really did head out to the desert last weekend and RIDE!!!! woo hoo!!!

Mark, Noah, Obi and I packed it up and headed out to a dry lake bed at a place called El Mirage with my friend Frankie, her hubby and their three kids!!! They have a toy hauler and a bunch of quads, so we got to camp out with them.... We got there Saturday morning and set up our spot.... We rode for a while, played baseball, and just enjoyed the beautiful day... Once it got dark we started gathering wood to build a bonfire... I must admit something.... I have never made a smore in my LIFE!!! I've roasted marshmallows.... I've had smores pop-tarts... but never actually made a smore in a fire outdoors!!! So it was my first time and I fell in love!!! I must have had 5 or 6!!!! Whatta pig!!! But they were so yummy!!!! So I considered that dinner... After we all filled up on smores, we hung out by the fire until it died out...Then we headed to bed, and started watching the movie CHAOS.... Mark fell asleep before it even started, the rest of us fell asleep half way through.... So we called it a night.... Obi slept in the back of my car.... and the kids slept up in the loft of the toy hauler!!! We had 8 people in there...comfy cozy!!!!

Me trying to hit the ball... I actually did a good job!!! Mark said I had some skills!!!

Sunday morning we woke up had some breakfast... and got back outside... Noah tried to take a quad by himself but wasn't feeling it... So I geared him up and took him for a spin with me... He said it was boring...so I took him back and Frankie and I went for a ride all the way across the lake bed, then back to our camp on all the side trails.... What a great ride!!! Lots of flat lake bed to go fast on, and some dips on the side trails to jump and catch some air on....

The loft where those cute kiddos slept...

Noah geared up for a ride with his momma...

Frankie showin off.... :)~

Me and the open road!!! Where are the hills??? I want to catch some air!!!

When we got back it was the boys turn to head out... So Mark, William and Isaac geared up and headed out for a while.... While they were out, we watched the movie Juno.. (I hadn't seen it before... I loved it!!!!) Obi was totally pooped out from all the nature and strangeness of where we were, so he just wanted to sleep!!!!

Mark ready to ride!!!!

Mark, William, and Isaac ready to go....

Obi natured out!!! Ready to go home!!!

When the boys got back, we had some lunch and finished watching that movie Chaos... It was alright... Then we started to clean up and get ready to go home... it was a great trip with some great company!!! I love my Espinozas!!!! They're awesome!!!

Luckily we didn't hit much traffic on the way back and made it home quicker than we thought... We were expecting to hit some traffic because of people heading back from Vegas... Well, we came home and all took showers, because we were all a gnarly shade of dirt and sand.... After that we decided to get some dinner, unpack our food stuff and RELAX!!!! What a fun time... Hopefully we will be doing that more often!!!

Today was work as usual... And for the most part the rest of this week should be uneventful... This Saturday is our Rock Band Party!!! I am so excited for this... We are expecting to have around 20 people over!!! Should be a good time!!!! I have to get shopping for this... I think I'll do a little bit each day so I don't get overwhelmed and stressed on Saturday since I work that morning...

K- till next time... B good or b good at it!!!! <3 Me.
