A Preview: Joshua Tree 2013

Joshua Tree 2013 was a much needed get away for the whole family. Ryan had reserved camp sites right next to climbing areas a long, long time ago; So long that our schedules were unknown, but it didn't matter. It turned out to be perfect timing - perfect weather, nobody sick, a break in work schedule, and a much needed change in routine to relieve the built-up of everyday stress. The kiddies loved the dirty and rocks... and for the duration of the trip, I held back my TypeA personality and allowed them to be as dirty and messy as they wanted...almost. =P

A few preview photos (we finally picked up a replacement point'n'shoot so, yeah! more kiddie photos!):

Ryan teaching Emilia a thing or two about harnessing up and knots.

Yup! That's my lil' 3-year-old climbing with her daddy!

That's them again in the far upper right corner of the photo.

I put in more climbing this time than in the past 3 years. (Still doesn't say much..)

Friends and more kiddies chillin' at the campsite.

And more photos & videos to upload soon... stay posted!
