The Living Desert

It was Brandon's birthday on Wednesday and my present to him was to take him camping in Joshua Tree. We stopped in to visit with his grandparents in Palm Desert and his grandpa Don took us to his favorite place- the Living Desert. All the animals were out! It was a lot of fun.

Up close and personal with a leopard!

A Cheetah!

The biggest bird ever- it was also very angry at me for taking this photo

Wow- 8 months later and I almost forgot how to log into this blog. It is crazy how quickly time can go. Here are some pictures for Joey- I'll post one of my new hair color later.
