Our last trip to Joshua Tree we decided to camp. We camped at Jumbo Rock campground and we all had a great time exploring and climbing. Xander loves finding hiding spots:) We ended up freezing that night because we were not properly prepared, even the dog refused to climb out of her burrowed spot in the sleeping bags. But, we had fun!
It was a very long… very cold night…

A few weeks ago someone crushed Xander’s childhood wonder. Thanks to my Dad, aunt Mitzi and cousin Taylor it has been renewed :)
1) Had to make a run to the ER at 3 in the morning on account of kidney stones :( it was a little scary when Erica was in so much pain and the doctors weren’t sure why. 2) Racing around the fields inside Joshua Tree! 3) Erica taking large-formats of the sunset… also, it was very cold out despite the bright sun. 4) Xander getting embarrassed. 5) Stopping to enjoy and take photos of an unbelievably beautiful sunset. 6) Waiting for an all-hands meeting to start on the Disney Lot. 7) Me nervously climbing up into Xander’s tent-bed… I don’t know for sure that it can support my weight. But I do know one thing, I want my own tent-bed *nods*
1) Lan laughing hysterically at… something - I wish I could remember what; maybe he’ll remember, I’ll have to show him this. 2) Going out for a group lunch at Chilly John’s in Burbank for Sean’s last day at work. 3) Erica picking out her ass-kicking shoes for her upcoming hearing in Michigan. 4) Playing with amazing cameras and lenses far outside of my personal-budget with Lan and Rodney. 5) Xander seeing his bedroom for the very first time - he jumped straight into the Legos sandbox. I don’t blame him. 6) Maeby burrito! 7) Xander making sure Erica has enough room to lay down in his fancy new tent-bed.

Erica has been in Kentucky for the last week - her and Xander are spending Spring break on the farm. These are a handful of the photos she shared from earlier in the day. Wish I was able to go too this year *
1) Erica dancing / eating chips while we wait for laundry to finish up. 2) Lan making his room sexy. 3) taking down the Ikea storage bins from our old apartment’s bedroom. 4) piecing together an Epic for a shoot at work. 5) still moving out - taking down the giant kitchen chalkboard, which is now in Xander’s bedroom. 6) Skying with Rachel and Xander - they hung out together all weekend. 7) Erica just finished installing the star lights.

Catching the last of the day :)
I love this photo - I hope Erica also grabbed some video walking through this field just before sunset.
