death valley, CA

a few weeks ago we were able to go on a little trip with ben to death valley, california {his customers there had rented some equipment and were finished renting it, so he drove there to pick it up again}. it was a long drive had we gone straight there...but we stopped at different places on the way there and back to stay.

here are the boys at the pro bass shop in las vegas...

here we are in death valley. we stayed at a little resort called furnace creek ranch. it was really fun and a cool place to stay {kind of an oasis in the middle of a huge dessert}...

see what i mean? definitely an oasis in the middle of nowhere. it was pretty cool though!

here are the boys going down to swim one last time before we left that morning...

st. george...

we went hiking in snow canyon while staying in st. george...

we hiked all the way to the top of a huge petrified sand dune. you can see ben's tiny truck below in the parking lot :). we were really proud of the boys! they did it with only some complaining :)...

playing in the sand dunes {we LOVED the weather there}...

more fun at the splash pad...

it was a fun little trip. we really enjoyed spending so much time together! {more catch up posts to come}
