the desert

while we were in st. geroge, one day, the boys and i drove 30 minutes south to a place called beaver dam.

it is literally the desert. a beautiful desert where lots of memories were made during my childhood.

this is where my grandpa, his sweet wife, and my uncle paul live!

it was so fun to see them and get to visit with them for a while.

the boys were in heaven in the hot sun, playing basketball, playing on rocks, riding a 4-wheeler,
and helping (great) grandpa, uncle paul and other family fix a ranger.

thanks you guys for letting us stop in on short notice! 

we love ya'll!

this is the only time and place i actually used my camera to take pictures the whole trip ... 

(note: my post below is all phone pictures.)

i've debated which one of these to post. they're both about even ... take your pick!
