Christmas in the Desert

Another fun time in the desert for Christmas with Derek's family..


They take their gaming seriously.. 
Stashing remotes all over..


The view from South Mountain.  The trail we wanted was closed, so this was second pick.
Still had some nice views, although camera phone doesn't really do a good job of capturing it.


Just outside of South Mountain is this little nugget of history...








Rachael making sweater-shaped cookies for an Ugly Sweater party.
She's like the best themed-party-thrower-person ever.
 There was a wig...
It was basically the high-point of Christmas Eve shenanigans.. 

Nativity re-enactment...
Pie-Face Game.



Painted Rock Petroglyph Site
Christmas Day.
There's some really interesting history tid-bits about this area too..


















It was a waterfall trail, but there's only a waterfall when there's rain...
so you'll just have to use your imagination here.




Lots of Minecraft N' Chill


Hiking at the Sonoran Desert Preserve
via Dixie Summit








Look how cute they are! 
Dennis hiked with us for a far as he could, he was fighting some sickies so he waited for us at the bottom.  He got some pretty awesome photos of the cacti.

Fun times my friends, fun times!
