Camping for New Year's Eve

This year we went camping in Anza Borrego State Park for New Year's Eve. Our friends Silas and Julia as well as Jeremy and Morgan joined us for our celebration.

On Friday, the day we were leaving, BJ was packing up the jeep and getting it ready to go and low and behold he found that the whole transfer case (I could be making up that word!), or the thing that holds the transmission in place, was cracked and hanging on by a thread basically. So, we called our friends and asked how bumpy the road to the campground was. We typically go to a spot that takes a somewhat offroad vehicle to get to (you have to climb over rocks and stuff). He said it was pretty flat with some sandy spots but a non-4x4 should make it. So, we threw everything into our Saturn Outlook and headed out. Sure enough, we made it and it was a wonderful place for Taylor to be, a very large open lake bed so all the cacti were up on the hills but not where we were camping. It was great! Below are some pictures of our fun time.

Here I am getting comfy in the tent and playing with mom's make-up. Mascara on the lips!!


Mommy climbed a big rock so of course I wanted to go up to her.


Taylor helping daddy put together glow-in-the-dark bocci balls.


Snacking with the ladies and...the dog without a name (Silas and Julia got her just a few days before!).


Jeremy playing washers


Taylor being oh-so-cute!


Taylor so cold in the morning before the sun came up.


One of the best things about the trip was that Taylor learned to go pee-pee behind the rocks (on the ground)! She squated and Iheld her under her arms and she thought it was the coolest thing. We have an official camper!
