"The City" Rocks!

We went to the City of Rocks with my sisters Kim and Kirstin and their kids, as well as my parents who helped babysit. There were 12 kids in all! We had a walkie talkie system going, and base camp would call me everytime Fisher needed to eat. I would then run to the car, drive back to camp, feed the baby and hurry back to the climbers. It was a great system, and we found our walkie-talkies worked throughout the entire park! It was a blast, we had fun taking Kim and Ben and their kids out. Here's a few pics of the trip:

Indy and Brigham made lots of trouble and messes! They also refused to look at the camera at the same time.A three generation photo of Jennilyn, Indy, and Dad.Ben leading up Scream Cheese:Jennilyn climbing high on Scream Cheese:

She came to the City the morning after breaking her arm in multiple places. She also took some pain meds that made her sick... and she still came camping!

All in all, the trip was great! We didn't get as much climbing in as we had planned, but with that many kids, how could we?
