What?

Yummy! Mattie likes to sneak me chocolate!

Is there something on my face? I'm so cute!

Dunes - Dumont, CA

"BOOM BOOM - FIRE POWER"I think everyone at the dunes had a great time. I know for me, it is a place where I can turn my kids loose and feel good about it. Coop and the cousins rode their 4-wheelers almost non-stop. Mattie was rolling down the dirt hills, and Sidney was just wondering around checking stuff out.

Don't get me wrong, we also live the camping life of luxury: we turned on the A/C in the afternoon and put Sid down for a nap, the kids watched movies at night, etc., etc. How the pioneers made it is beyond me!

Shawn & Gavin, Wade & Mattie

The Little Explorer hard at it!

Mattie loves to go for rides. She sits in front of Wade with her feet up at the handlebars and holds onto the bars. I don't know how she can hold on so tight!

Coop and the cousins are getting scary good - especially Jace. Jace races dirtbikes and has the winning mentality. They are all plenty fast, and starting to cut corners etc. to get ahead of each other. It is pretty entertaining to watch.

Coop would take off his helmet and be drenched in sweat. Thank goodness for that shower in the camper!

We planned good meals, and all ate together, but Sid still thought she should eat a little dirt!
