We finally got to go camping! We have been trying to get a campsite for months and in fact, we reserved this spot back in early July! It was a perfect get-away during a pandemic. The kids talk about Joshua Tree quite often, so we decided to go back to our favorite spot...Jumbo Rock.
The best part of camping is sitting under the stars and roasting marshmallows.
Ben got some really good shots the next morning...I'm not sure where Eli was...or where I was.
But I would say that this is a pretty fantastic way to wake up.
We went on a "short, easy" hike, as Ben always says.
We aren't Yuman's anymore and we were pretty hot and tired by the time we got to the top, but we were SO proud of the kids and their hard work to make it up.
Ben loves camping for all of the exploring it allows him to do. He did a little rock climbing from our campsite.
And took Colin on a little adventure.
While I napped, Ben took the kids off-roading to find some old mines.
And then they did a bunch of things that I would never have agreed to...
Playing Uno and eating some good ole' camping junk food was more up my alley.
(Colin is talking to Ben on the walkie-talkie; an activity that proved to be very entertaining)
We may have been roughin' it, but we still eat pretty good food when we're camping.
And because blogger is a booger, here are the videos that should have been put throughout the blog.
