Spring Break in Palm Springs

We have had a lot going on the past month...thus the lack of postings. I thought I would catch you up on some of the goings on around our house. We took a spring break trip to Palm Springs and had a great time together. We did lots of swimming, hiking and exploring which made for a very fun week.

These are pictures from our hike at Indian Canyons. The overall terrain is very desert-like with a palm oasis which we hiked through. The contrast of dry and rocky versus the lush green of the oasis was beautiful.

Hiking at Joshua Tree National Park

Our kids have learned that Rick really likes cacti (sp?), so on our trip they were excited to point out various varities we encountered. You can imagine that in the desert we had lots of cacti encounters and therefore much excitement. :) This is a picture Will took of Rick in the middle of an amazing cactus "garden" at Joshua Tree.

Fun in the pool!
