Memorial weekend '09

As per Sellers' family tradition, we packed up our gear and headed west! We went camping at the sand dunes by the coast again and we had a great time (despite being 32 weeks along!). These last couple months, Little Bubba hasn't wanted anything to do with the quads...we've tried getting him to ride with us at Grandpa's house, but he refuses and acts scared. We were bummed and didn't think he would want to ride this weekend...if only that were the case!

ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS GO FOR A RIDE! As soon as we got there he saw everyone out riding and that's all it took. From then on, every chance he could get he would drag us over to the quads and ask for a ride. Since we didn't think he'd want to we didn't have a helmet for him, but thanks to KEMM for being life savers (the let us borrow their little helmet).

We also went over to the beach and enjoyed the view. Little Bubba was just happy to play in the sand.

A bunch of the other kids brought kites to play with and we had to get in on some of the action...

Mostly, it was just nice to get away for a few days. We love that Grandpa lets us share his toy-hauler...otherwise we would actually have to camp...with a tent and everything!! ;)

When we got home on Monday it was warm and we were feeling a little dirty from all the sand, so the first thing we did was daddy took the little guy out back to play in the sprinkler. It felt so refreshing! He didn't even wait to change into swim clothes!

Bruce is really hoping to go on the 4th of July camping trip too, which happens to be 1 week before I go in to have the baby...a little too close for my comfort. The dunes are 3 hours away, and there's no way I'm risking that drive if anything happens early (like it did with our 1st!)
