There is a place here in the desert that is Grammy's favorite place. A place called Pretty Rock Valley (named by Eli). A beautiful, special place where we can be together as a family surrounded by mountains, cactus, and each other.
If you look at the right hand corner in this picture you will see a white van. Our camp is just right of this van but unseen from atop this hill. God's beauty is so evident here.
Priorities first. We set up our camp and had a quick snack before we started exploring the desert.
I snuck out into the cactus while everyone was having a snack to capture a few shots. I like this one because you can see my shadow.
Then, Grammy, Eli, Grace and I headed out to the desert while the rest of the crew set up the target for shooting their bow. We headed toward Squaw Peak. Up, Up, Up, Up. The top was breathtaking and WE MADE IT!
Behind us we could see Squaw Peak and that view didn't disappoint me either.
Time to head back down to camp.
After the sun went down we started a fire with hot dogs, smores, and lots of stories. We tried to remember moments from when the kids were babies. They loved remembering things about each other. It was a very special evening!!
