Death Valley

We heard that our friends the Drew's were going to go camping to Death Valley and invited ourselves along for the fun.  I was talking with Toni on Friday night and we left Saturday morning.  I am getting too spontaneous in my old age :)
 Here is the crew at Father Crawley's look out.
 We camped at the Pennement camp ground and took a hike to see their waterfall.

We stopped around this huge boulder we had to climb over.  It lead to a ledge you had to hold onto to get to the waterfall.  I'm sure the Drew's could have made it but we had Darrell, Ryan, and accident prone Hayden so we opted to turn back around.
Ryan is sporting this "lovely" alien shirt because 30 minutes out of town she puked all over her clothes.  We stopped at a gas station/brothel somewhere outside of Death Valley and this was the only child clothing they sold.
Adorable :)
The boys got to pass off a requirement for their Wolf, cooking outdoors.  Jason brought charcoal and we made hobo dinners and hot dogs.  We had tons of S'mores for dessert.  Perfect camping food.
As we were all sitting around the fire Hayden was sitting in an adult chair and leaned too far over and fell in the fire!  I was standing right there and ripped that child up so fast and grabbed any water near and got her hand rinsed off.  She, I am happy to report, didn't even burn.  She is now 2 for 2; 2 camping trips 2 falls in the fire. Such a nut!

  3. How scary about the fire! Thank goodness she was not hurt. Again.
    I can't get over the cuteness of the picture of Taylor and Jason. And that alien shirt is hilarious.
