Road Trip, Part 6 - Joshua Tree National Park

The next stop on our road trip is... JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK!

Now, if you follow my friend Little Fox, you'll notice that he also recently went to the same park. Maybe we drove past him during our trip. :)

A popular site in the park is Skull Rock. Oh boy, that sounds scary! I look a little scared in this photo, don't you think? But adventure requires us to be brave - we must soldier on!

I think it's just over the top of these boulders. Some scrambling is involved here...

And here it is, Skull Rock! Does it look like a skull to you? It's not so scary after all!

We drove through the rest of the park and saw lots of Joshua trees after which the park is named.

They are very prickly! Be careful you don't get too close. They are almost like porcupine pins.

I almost got poked by this one - yikes!

We've seen a lot of the desert recently on this trip. It'd be nice to get to some water or something...

Stay tuned for the last stop on our road trip...

Sunflower rock

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be doing some arts and crafts. I have this paint set here and will be painting a rock with a sunflower design. When it's done, we'll leave it somewhere for someone to find - these are similar to the Kindness Rocks projects you might have heard about.

Woof?

Oh yes, you can help of course, Parker!

Alright alright, now we've got everything we need set up here. I'm painting this on a sheet of newspaper so it won't get on the carpet.

Parker is painting the inner part of the flower. He is quite a talented dog. Parker, have you been watching more of those Joy of Painting shows with Bob Ross?

Woof!

Now I will finish up with the orange paint.

And looks like we're done! We'll just let it dry and then put it somewhere for somebody to find.

What arts and crafts projects have you made lately?
