Best in the Desert Race!

This weekend, we went to see the "Best in the Desert" race in Parker, Arizona. It's a 425 mile off road race for trucks, jeeps, and other dirt covered vehicles. It's a lot of fun - we went last year and loved it. You get to stand out on in the desert on the sidelines of the race and watch the trucks go by. This year, Brandon's dad, Derrick, & Gwynne drove out from California and met us there. We all had to leave in the middle of the night to be in time for the 6am starting time, but we had tons of fun.
Here's a video of one of the trucks...

And a few pictures of our fun day...

Maddie with her daddy! She's not quite sure what's going on.


It was really dusty from all the dirt getting kicked up from the race. Maddie got a ring of dirt around her binky - you can see it in this picture. She had a fun time! She's such a trooper. She slept the whole way there and the whole way back.


Maddie & Aunt Gwynne!

Kimmy, I love her dirt ring, haha! That looks like a ton of fun, did Maddie care about the trucks being so loud? She looks like she didn't care! Anyway, Shade's having another sale in the beginning of March, so here's what you're going to do. You're going to go on their website:
