Jeff works 1/2 days on Sunday so after the boys and I tried out a new church, we met him at home, switched cars, and headed out explore our new hood!
Today's first stop: Desert Tower--a random spot on I-8 (otherwise known as "The 8" in this area) about 40 minutes from El Centro.

You can see Desert Tower from the road--if you know where to look--UP!

| Seen on the road leading up to the tower, which made us laugh! |
The inside of the tower is a gift shop with a lovely musty smell and a few trinkets worth looking at! Take a few flights of stairs to the top and you get this view:

| El Centro is out there--somewhere! |
Our tickets (maybe $20-$25 total) took us up this tower and all around the cave/tunnels of Boulder park--which is famous for it's carved animals in the rocks. I got a few pics, but the boys (all 3 of them) were so excited that I had to stop taking pics in order to catch up!

The boys absolutely loved their first rock climb and today my legs are feeling it--which is a good thing! I did manage to coerce everyone to take a group pic and our wonderful photographer Bennett actually got a great pic of mommy and daddy!

| I don't know why, but this is our "rock climbing" pose! (Maybe because our hands are out ready to climb???) |
Here are just some fun pics from our climb--which took about an hour because we just took our time and let the boys explore.

| Handsome kid! |

| Cheese! |
 |
| Daddy is thrilled to have his buddies climb with him! |
