The Clay Hills

This weekend we went to the Clay Hills with Adam's family. Adam's family has been going to this area for a long time to picnic and hike around. It is a very desolate area that has absolutley no vegitation and is pretty much the desert. But the formation of the clay and sand is spectacular and very fun to hike around. Over the years that Adam's family has been going the formations and caves change so dramatically that it is a great place to explore.

Here is a picture of how one of the cliff walls looked.As you can see, a nice fire and picnic was had. There is Adam's dad waiving to the masses and Camille and Adam's mom hanging in the back. While on a hike throug the cliffs, Adam could not be swayed from flexing his amazing muscles. This impressed Camille so much that she had to run over and give him a kiss following this picture.
Smiles were had for us both following the kiss.
Adam and his nephew, Dylan, ran up a hill and stood in the mouth of a cave. Adam was so proud that he made it up the hill, he raised a hand to rejoice...yea!!Ah, taking a repose on the side of a giant dirt clod. Adam's nephew, Dylan, and his Grandpa catch some shut eye before we set off on a big hike.
The crew getting ready to start a hike up into the mountains (The crew was was quite large...we had Eric and Aimei, Carli, Jim and Julie, and the niece and nephews).
Adam's niece, Brookie, eating some food, hiking, and shooting us with a squirt-gun.
Adam's other nephew, Hanky, saying "Cheeeeeese!" and having a good time.
When we finally got on top of all the giant dirt clods we were surprised what we found. On one side of us was desert and giant dirt clods, on the othe was grassy rolling hills. The contrast was amazing!! It was actually a wonderful day. Here is Adam's sister, Carli, and Camille taking in the sights. (Carli also looks like a giant, but Camille is just that short).
