Emma's 2nd desert trip!

We headed out to Ocotillo this weekend for a Easter desert trip.

As usual, we had a fabulous time with our desert family!!!

It was pretty windy on Friday and Saturday, which stunk! And of course as luck would have it, this morning as we were packing up, it was beautiful with NO wind.  Oh well, we still had a blast.

Our little funny bunny.  She adapted so well, her only dislike this weekend was the wind.  I don't blame her, like I said before, it stunk!

Trying to hold her own bottle.  She has been grabbing her bottle every time we feed her.  She is close to holding it on her own, but not there yet.

Douggie and Emma :)

Our yummy Easter spread.  As usual, there was way too much food. Each desert trip we have a Saturday night community meal.  Each family is in charge of bringing a dish and we have one big dinner.  Saturday we had Ham and all of the fixings.

Bill was trying to convince Wendy to give up on her bet.  She was bet that she wouldn't make it until midnight.  Normally she goes in to bed at 8 or 9 when we are out there. Well she did it, and she was sure entertaining, but had way too much to drink.

Noel and Bri :)

Our happy little family!

The wind died down after Emma's 11 pm feeding.  Doug came in from the fire and offered to stay in with Emma.  Instead I decided to bundle up our kiddo and go out to the fire as a family.  She loved staying cozy and fell right back to sleep.

It turned into a beautiful night and a few of us even went on a short night ride.  It was such a pretty moonlight (and head light lit) ride.

The Easter Bunny even found Emma out at the desert, lucky girl!

Emma in her 1st Easter dress.  She had a wardrobe change at Papa Bob's and Grandma Rose's house later.

Bri holding Emma.  Bri isn't a huge fan of holding little babies.  She was in the delivery room when Emma was born, but decided that she wouldn't hold Emma until she was 3 months.  She even wrote Emma's 3 month birthday on her work calendar.  We held her to her word and she held Emma this morning. Of course Emma made it difficult on her and stiffened her self out.

The desert gals.

Bri, Katie, me, Emma, Brigitte, Wendy and Nana

We packed up early this morning and headed home to go to Easter at my parent's house.  Stay tuned for pictures from Easter with the fam.

Thank you for a fantastic weekend desert family!
