Madison's first trip to Glamis!

We decided to go to Glamis the week between Christmas and New Years since Joe took the week off work. So the morning after Christmas we woke up and started packing, since we spent any free time before then focusing on Christmas. Believe it or not we were totally packed, including a trip to the grocery store, and out of the house by noon! Only to hit major traffic in Beaumont and turn a 3 hour drive into a 6 hour drive.... oh well- Madison caught up on all the sleep she missed due to th holidays.

I love going out to Glamis to hang out with the family, but I'm not a big fan of actually riding in the dunes, so I had the perfect reason to stay back in camp: Madison was too little to fit in the buggy <3 I decided to be designated babysitter from now on so that everyone else can go enjoy themselves in the sand I can play with all the babies- perfect solution right?!

Joe had a blast riding his banshee again. He hadn't ridden it in 5 years! The last 2 years we didn't go out because Madison was a newborn and I was pregnant, and the 3 eyars before that we were riding in the buggy. It was pretty funny to see Joe walking around all sore and laying in bed without moving because it hurt to roll over! He really had fun though and loved that he was almost as fast as the last time he rode.

Madison had so much fun playing in the sand! Glamis is like a huge beach- soft sand everywhere. She did get a little frustrated because she couldn't walk very will in it though. She would sit in the sand for hours playing with all the old tupperware and kitchen spoons I brought for her to play with. I'm glad it's so easy to entertain them at this age!

We all had a fabulous time and can't wait to go back again soon! As soon as Joe can take more time off work.
