Boys love dirt.
Boys love fire.
Even though I only have daughters, I still know this.
How you might ask?
Because I have a husband.
And he has a friend.
And they love dirt and fire!
Dean and Paul instigated another trip to the desert.
Lauren:But we already live in the desert?!?!
{It is so confusing for her when we say we are going to the desert!}
While the men were off uprooting trees for firewood, the women got the fire started. Honestly, it was all Ericka, but I moved my hands around a lot so it looked like I knew what I was doing.
Hunter was certainly happy to be there.
The girls loved it all: juices, playing in the dirt, chips, looking for treasure, the bugs, etc.
Proof I was in the desert. 
{Dean thinks I am a party pooper when it comes to outdoor activities. But I was there with a smile on my face!}
Kylee insisted on drinking everyone's drinks and ended up with most of it down the front of her. Dean finally just cut a slit in the lid of a water bottle and let her have at it!
And whats a trip to the dessert without a little friendly competition?
No we didn't play pictionary on our dinnerware! We took turns trash talking and shooting the pellet gun. 3 of 4 adults hit the plate. I won't name names and embarrass the one individual who couldn't shoot straight if her life depended on it!
The boys even made time for a friendly game of football:
Dirt+Food+Little Girl=
Then came the marshmallows!
Ericka showing off her fire again: {Ericka: "I'm HOT!"}
The kids had a great time with the glow stick necklaces.
We had a lot of fun. Ericka and I really think it is just too bad that summer is coming and we won't be able to do it again until next year!!!

Tons of fun...you'll have to give me directions to where you go. My kids would LOOOOVE that. I'll have to take them in the fall-cuz I'm hot enough here in town, don't need to make it worse being in sand and dirt unless I'm in San Diego on the BEACH!!
You forgot to mention that only two of us hit the soda can!!
It was fun and my fire was AWESOME!
Looks like fun! Your picture of the kids with the glow sticks is cool.
Jealous! That picture of Hunter is hilarious! My kids are big dirt and fire fans...just so you know...
