My not so white Christmas part 3: Desert Excursion

Jeremy had never been up close and personal with a cactus until our PERFECT Christmas trip! We called upon my brother Morgan to find us the PERFECT place to explore the desert! HE DID!!! It was SOO fun! WE explored and explored we now loving refer to our desert excursion often! :)

What might one do on a desert excursion you might ask? Well, I am glad you asked... because I was going to tell you whether you wanted to know or not! :)

1. One might pose for pictures :)

2. One might collect rocks!
3. One might put collected rocks in this.
4. One might be in AWE of a HUGE cactus! :)
4. One might ... uh... stand around...
5. One might find crazy bug** things
6. One might put creepy bug** things on arm...
(Not pictured)
7. One(Jeremy) might try to see what a jumping cactus does after being warned to stay away from it and get poked by it repeatedly and finally have to ask Ones brother to use tweezers to get it off.

8. One might kick over TONS of rocks to find creatures.

9. One might just stand outside in the desert enjoying the scenery and warmth of the sun since One is from Utah where there is MUCH different scenery and no warmth.

10. One WILL have the time of their lives and not want to return to frozen toes and fingers and snowy roads!

**These are actually not bugs... they are cactus spines from a saguaro cactus! :)
