Morgan had a client appointment in Bakersfield last week so it was a great excuse to tag along,
visit family for the weekend and get in some off-road fun.
Let the weekend begin!
Visiting the neighborhood park by Ben and Lucy's house.
I'll take all the hugs from this little man of mine any day.
Cuteness abounds.
This boy and his love for dogs... Especially Coco!
Having a delightful conversation.
Coco is the best sport!
We also got to go see Christina perform in her high school musical, Beauty & the Beast.
She's the one sitting on the floor to the right.
She played various characters in the musical but her main role was the Enchanted Footstool.
She was fabulous and we enjoyed it very much!
On Sunday morning, Ben had a race at Cougar Buttes (near Big Bear and Johnson Valley) so we spent the day there, hoping to see him race and cheer him on.
With all his races and amazing finishes, Uncle Ben is now considered an "expert" in his class.
Cool, right?
This little guy was in his element.
Um, WHY??
He obviously wanted to see something.
Sister smooches.
We met some really nice people who had been camping there all weekend and they were so generous to let us play with their cool toys.
The rock formations are always a highlight to climb.
Zach found himself a ramp to climb. 😂
We also found a chuckawalla.
Our new friends invited Zach into their RV for pancakes and a movie.
As you can see, he wasn't quite sure what to think of "The Land Before Time." 😕
He only lasted 10 minutes before he was quickly back outside for a ride with Faith.
Needless to say, he was in complete dirt heaven all day! #boys
Well, we didn't see Ben race after all so that was a bit of a bummer. I guess the race trail wasn't conducive to spectators. Regardless, he was able to finish the race and did really well.
Yay, Ben!
Thankfully, we met some super nice people so we hung out with them and played in the dirt all day before heading home.
While in Bako, we also got to visit with Grandpa but I failed to get a photo. 🙈👎
All in all, it was a short but sweet and fun trip. Always great to see the family!
