way too much desert fun

The kids had tons of fun in the desert...too bad it looks like they had too much fun. They are way too whiny and cranky now. Boy do they need sleep. It's 7:15 and the boy is crying in bed with the little girl following not far behind. Anyway, they just had sooo much fun riding the quad, playing with their best buddy, climbing the rocks, shooting the BB gun, shooting off rockets & fireworks, tending the fire, and eating marshmallows. Too bad I just HATE the desert. I keep trying but I just can't enjoy everything with the dirt and the bitter cold. But we will keep going because they all just love it so much and I really don't want to miss out on that.
