Rachel and I went to Ocotillo last weekend and stayed the night with the Stephens family.
The last time we went it was really windy and we had to spend a lot of time in the trailer. This time it was really hot and we had to spend a lot of time in the trailer. The girls spent a lot of time coloring on Marie's magazines.
When it started to cool off, we went for a ride in Marie's "pink car" to go and get ice cream. The girls were so excited. Unfortunately, there were problems with it, so we got most of the way there when we broke down.
The girls and I waited in the shade while Marie went to go and get help.
After we got back to camp, we went in Doug's truck to go and get our ice cream. Rachel loved it and made the greatest slurping sounds while eating it.
Since there ride was cut short, they still got to go on a ride but had to share a seat.
I even got to go on a ride while Marie watched Rachel.
In the morning the girls went for a ride on Doug's quad. (Marie pushed them back and forth in the shade and they loved every minute of it.) We had a good time except for the fact that Rachel did not want to go to sleep. It was the first time she has really slept anywhere except our house and her Nana and Papa's house. Everybody by the campfire was really loud and she didn't want to miss out on anything. There were 4 of us who tried to get her to sleep and Marie was the one who was finally successful. I felt so lucky that I had help because it took almost 3 hours to get her to finally go to sleep.
