City of Rocks

Me and my stay at home buddy- Abby, packed up for a nice weekend in City of Rocks.  (Every time Abby sees a bug she lays down on the ground and looks at it really close and says BUG!)  We packed up Darrens truck and picked up the kids from school and headed out.  Darren had to work Friday so we left him behind.  (Ang brought him up the next day)  But I felt pretty good setting up the tent with my kids.  (especially knowing the rain storm was going to come back).  We had Little Caesars (cold) pizza for dinner because I knew I couldn't do three kids and set up a tent AND dinner.  Great experience on ... yes I can do it!
We drove through some major dust storms, rain storms, thunderstorms and saw some terrible accidents.  BUT we said a prayer and made it safely.  We left the storm behind us and drove into the hidden valley of City of Rocks.  The sun was shining and everything was cloudy and misty.  (the camera just couldn't capture it!)  This hidden gem is so amazing.  A kids paradise for climbing around on rocks all day long. 



These two are upside down in a rock.  And I was lying on the ground under them.  










There was great climbing by all the kids.  Some by adults but more so by kids.  They all left feeling a little more excited about climbing.



Steve and Ang were our master chefs.  We had so much good food.  The LaRivieres, the Hyldahls, the Howells, the Ang and Steve crew, and us.  Good times.
