The Byrds Nest: January 2011

Well we didn't attend any exciting New Years parties or anything this year and in fact we were asleep in bed by 9:30p. The baby woke about about 11:55 and the other kids were woken up by the sounds of the neighborhood around the same time, so we were able to ring in the new year awake anyway. New Years morning I found a text from Jeff and Cami letting us know they were out at the sand dunes and inviting us out to spend some time with them. After attending to an extended family matter that arose over new years eve night, Johnna and I loaded up the kids and headed for the dunes. Unfortunately, I was too busy talking and thinking of other things going on in my life to pay attention to the text I had received earlier from Jeff inviting us to come spend time with them at "Gordon's Well" and I drove all the way to "Glamis" which is about an hour in the wrong direction. I must commend Johnna, she was able to bite her tongue the whole way about my screw-up. I would likely have let her know what I thought of such a blunder had it been her mistake. Seems to be a male attribute many in may family have shared. We made our way back Gordon's Well and met up with Jeff and Jaxun and headed toward their camp. We had a great time and the kids all played well with each other. Jeff and Jaxun took us for a ride in the sand car and we had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the day.
