Joshua Tree National Monument










We spent the afternoon with Micah, Noah, Shigemi and Kurt investigating the park where the kids got their National Park Passports

stamped and received a Junior Ranger Booklet with photos and checklists for them to discover within the park. Kurt was interested in the wildflowers especially as photo opportunities, Noah was 'animal hunting' and found a ground squirrel and lizard to mark in his book. Micah played bingo as she identified wild flowers and other parts of the park, placing an X when she spotted one of the items to be found. Judy and Shigemi found it all so interesting and enjoyed the walk. A hike on a short trail brought discoveries of huge California Fan Palm Trees at a spring which provided water to nourish them, places to climb on the rocks and generally having a great time as a family.
