Ocotillo

Yesterday Rachel and I headed out to Ocotillo to visit the Stephens family and were also joined by the Lewko family.
Rachel and Emma are riding in the back of Marie's new pink Rhino. As you can see by Rachel's hair, it was a bit windy.


I put her beanie on and it helped a bit. Rachel had a blast and at one point after everyone else had got out of the rhino, Rachel stayed in for at least 10 more minutes waiting for another ride. She finally realized that it wasn't going anywhere and eventually got out.


I opened my car door and it was so windy that her balloon flew out of the car. She saw it fly away and started chasing it. I had to chase her down and tell her it had gone bye-bye.


She was still looking for her balloon, but it was at least a half a mile away.


She was waiting for another ride and was willing to drive if that was the only way to make it move.


The girls don't seem too worried that Rachel is trying to drive.


Rachel was so happy that Marie took them on at least 4 rides. She couldn't get enough of it. That night when I was taking her to bed, I asked her if she had fun playing with Emma and Jillian and she responded with "car". It was definitely the highlight of her day!


In these 2 pictures, Rachel is blowing me a kiss good-bye.

Bye-bye mama. She didn't care at all that I wasn't going with her.


This was their last ride of the day. The wind had really picked up. Marie had to bring Emma and Jillian back because of the wind, but took Rachel back out because she was not getting out after such a short ride.


Here are all three girls playing in the dirt and really enjoying themselves.


My little girl really loves the dirt.



When it was too windy to be outside anymore and the girls hadn't had a nap yet, they needed a little down time and watched Blue's Clues in the trailer. Rachel's newest favorite show is Blue's Clues and she walks around saying "Coos-Coos" and says "Think, Think, Think" and does the hand motions, which is what she is doing here.


The 3 moms got to take a ride too. It was very peaceful out there!
