Joshua Tree National Park

Tara and the kids, Mom and Dad, Gavin, Craig, Emily, Wendy, Abbey and I headed out for Joshua Tree National Park. Unfortunately, Gage had a throat infection which caused him to have a fever and other unpleasant symptoms. Jeff and Emily and Kennady stayed home to care for Gage, while we took Gavin with us. They had a Harry Potter marathon at home.

Joshua Tree is another amazing beautiful place. The weather was great. The sun was out and the rocks looked way cool against the blue, blue sky. Tara and I both took a ton of pictures again. I think the kids wanted to play more. They kept having to pose for us. Poor Children! If they weren't so cute!

Beth and her Buddy, Craig. She kept coming up to Craig her whole stay. She would say "I love You" and " Your my other Dad". Most kids find him a bit scary. She was an exception!

Wendy and Sammy, Tara was especially scared for Sam at this time. After she took the picture, he wasn't allowed so high anymore. He could not wait to climb on the rocks. He was in heaven and having the time of his life.
