Camping at Joshua Tree

One of the few desert flowers that we saw. We caught the end of the season for the flowers in Joshua Tree. This very pretty purple flower was one of the last ones.

On Sunday it was really warm so Red's Uncle David went and got Popsicles for the kids. Jacob LOVED the Popsicle. He thought it was the greatest thing around. He almost looks drunk on Popsicle in the pictures.


Do you see the faces in the rocks?????

The boys are waiting in the car at Joshua Tree. This is what the car looked like loaded up.

The second half of our trip was to meet up and go camping with Red's aunt and uncle. We had a blast camping with them. Thanks for the great time and great food. They brought water guns and kites, they even made up an outdoor movie night for the kids. Justin loved playing with his cousins. The nights were cold and the days warm but we had a great time.

A Visit with Great Grandma Rademacher

A photo for GG Rademacher.
Grandma Rademacher at her best Justin found this great old wagon at Great Grandma Ginny's house. Jacob couldn't wait to get in it.

Last Tuesday we packed up the car. Loaded the boys and the dog and off we went to our first stop of our trip. We drove into GG Rademachers house at midnight last Tuesday. Good thing GG Rademacher is a night owl. The boys were glad to get out of the car. We had a wonderful time visiting with GG Rademacher. She spoiled us. We loved getting to spend some time with her. Justin wants to know when GG Rademacher is going to come up for a visit. We are working on it.
