Camping With Gamma & Papa

Jayden and Grace got to go camping with my mom & dad this weekend. They took their 5th wheel camper and the "Yellow Buggy" out to the desert with a group my parents belong to. Jayden got to ride with my dad in the buggy all day while my mom and Grace stayed behind and played dollies. As you can see in the above picture, they saw some wild life - a gopher snake.
Some more information from my dad:
In the first Pix JJ didn't want to get out of the buggy, and when I went to go around the other side of the snake for this pix he warned me, "Papa be careful, the snake might be dangerous."

Long trips took their toll on Jayden...

I'm not sure what she is looking at, but she looks so sweet...


And of course, Jayden made friends.

When I asked him if he now has 3 more girlfriends, he said, "No, just 1."

The kids are looking at some more of the desert wildlife - a tortoise.


Grace is laying underneath my dad's jacket... She looks so little under there!

They saw an old cemetary. I wondered if Jayden even knew what it was, but my dad said he did because he was really sad while they were there.


In an old mine with Papa.

And of course, A TRAIN!!

They camped very close to the BNSF train tracks and saw trains

coming and going all day and night. Jayden was in heaven.


The engineer found out Jayden wanted to be an engineer when he grows up and asked if he wanted to come up and see it. Jayden was thrilled.



I love these 2 pics.
