The girls were ready for some more rock climbing so we headed back to Joshua Tree National Park. We found a nice location where there was a picnic table in the shade for some of us to sit while others took off for a climbing adventure.

D had a blast leading the way. We had to periodically remind him that he had some littles that weren’t used to climbing and who didn’t have the right footware this time around. lol! It was quite warm…
