We had a fun little getaway this weekend. I took the kids and met Dad in Joshua Tree. Grandpa Sorensen and Caleb and Corbin also came along (Brook and Grandma came out in the morning as well as Erin and David). We camped in some BLM land (no potties). We set up a tent which Caelan and Ben and Megan slept in. Dad and Nathan and I slept in the van (right next to the tent with the windows open)...actually Megan joined us late in the night as well). It was cool, but not cold and hardly any wind (perfect for the fire). Nathan was completely mesmerized by the fire. He sat and stared at that for hours. We spent the next day climbing rocks, hiking and riding bikes (it was more like "coasting" downhill for 10 miles - very fun). Uncle Caleb carried Nathan is his little carrier. We ended up hiking longer that we thought and Nathan started to get fussy so I took him. He fell asleep (and the sun was beating down and he didn't have any sunscreen), so we made our own little shade for him. We had a blast, and have a little sun-kissed skin to show for it (Nathan's first rosy cheeks). It made us realize that we need to camp much more often - so fun!
