Good morning .. time to brush my teeth
This looks like fun.
I think I can get the ball in the hole.
Ahhh, so that's how you're supposed to do it.
Let's see how Ethan does
Can i try the stick too? Do we have a smaller one?
Joshua Tree National Park, CA
The photographers are armed and ready
And Max is taking grandma for a walk
What a beautiful place
Elijah had a blast playing with Marc's old camera
And everyone enjoyed the hike
The Joshua Trees are so strange, yet so compelling
Ethan had fun taking pictures too (see later for highlights)
It was a wonderful day
A little snow left in the summer
We had one rock climber among us
He mad it up .. now can he get back down?
Despite the sun, it was a bit chilly in the hills
Say Cheese!
You too Max
Everyone gets their picture taken
Ethan needs a little help from Marc
Mommy had fun taking pictures of the trees
Hold on Max
Get that picture, Ethan!
You too Elijah!
