TODAY WE DECIDED TO GO HIKING. WE WENT TO A PLACE NEAR OUR HOUSE IN NEVADA IN AN AREA CALLED CHRISTMAS TREE PASS. YOU CAN HIKE IN THIS AREA OR YOU CAN GO ROCK CLIMBING, SOME OF THE AREAS FOR ROCK CLIMBING LOOK VERY CHALLENGING. WE JUST WENT FOR A HIKE, THERE IS SO MANY THINGS TO SEE. THE AREA'S WILD LIFE, THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CATUS, SOME ARE IN BLOOM, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TOO. WE MADE SURE WE PACKED IN PLENTY OF WATER AND OF COURSE WE HAD OUR HATS AND LOTS OF SUN SCREEN AGAIN.
THIS PART WAS CALLED DIABLO DIAMANTE.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE CATUS THAT ARE IN BLOOM THIS TIME OF YEAR. STANLEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT SOME CATUS EVEN HAD FLOWERS, HE THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY STRANGE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WALLS OF PETROGLYPHS IN THIS AREA. THEY ARE SO AMAZING. THE LOCAL NATIVE AMERICANS SAY THAT THESE ARE ABOUT A THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

Stanley sure is getting to go to some beautiful places. I think you're getting him addicted to ice cream! YUMMY!
What fun things you are doing with Mr. Stanley!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for Blaise. The kids are really getting a kick out of it. You are the best Grandparents ever!
WE LOVE BEING ABLE TO DO THIS FOR BLAISE, IT GIVES US A CONNECTION AND A FEELING OF BEING A PART OF HIS SCHOOL PROJECTS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN FOR ME, I WISH ALL GRANDPARENTS COULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH THEIR GRANDCHILDREN, ESPECIALLY LONG DISTANCE GRANDPARENTS. PLUS WE LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT TIME YOU GUYS ARE DOWN THIS WAY, TAKING THE KIDS TO DO SOME OF THESE SAME ADVENTURES, IT WILL BE A BLAST.
LOVE YA GUYS,
