City of Rocks

After camping with Josh's family he dropped me off at my parents house where the kids and I ended up staying for the week. One of those days my dad took off of work and took us to the City Of Rocks. For the most part my kids loved hiking around and then seeing that we had just climbed up a huge rock. In the middle Spencer got upset because I had to keep grabbing him, he thought he could be like Makenzie and Hannah and just walk until they stopped. Sorry there are a lot of pictures but I couldn't just pick a couple.

First we ate lunch in the back of my dad's car all the tables were occupied with campers.


The rest are just some fun pictures of the kids and the places we hiked to.





Like his nose he fell on the garage steps at my parents house.


If you look through the rocks we came from the rocks behind.


The picture above and this one is the same rock just on other sides.





I told the kids to say "cheese" and Spencer was caught still saying it.


On the way back my dad let the kids pick out a couple rocks to take back to his house and add to his rock fountain, so they will always have a rock to remember.


We stopped at the one and only gas station in Oakley just outside of the City of Rocks and got a frazzle with ice cream in it. It was a much needed treat to cool us off.


We also stopped and visited with my grandparents. My grandma told the kids to go find the toys in the back room and my grandpa thought they were going to destroy the room so he went to supervise.

We had an awesome day with my parents. Thanks dad for taking the day off and spending it with us.
