Grady's Desert Safari

Grady and Duane headed out for an excursion....DUNE BASHING

in the desert and then treated to a feast!  Sadly, I was

fighting pneumonia and could not attend....but I love that

they went and had the time of their lives!

It's not a far drive to the desert to get to the dunes.

Many Toyota Land Cruisers out there at the same time.
Air is let out of the tires to allow the vehicle to manuver the desert.

Wee!  Wee!   Wee!



Grady met a new friend....Camilla the camel.

Grady, Camilla the camel, Stacy and Michelle. 

Joe and Duane.
Joe the camel.....Duane is next to Joe!
:-)

Grady is thinking this would be a ride.  

So, they did....they went for a ride.

The vastness of the desert.

The campground where they feasted on chicken, lamb, veggies
hommous, breads, and fruit.  Entertained by belly dancers, shisha
and henna designs.  At one point they turn the camp lights
off so you can see the stars.  Something Duane and I truly
miss from our Arizona backyard.....seeing the stars everynight.

Grady sand boarding....he did really well!

What a great excursion and I am so glad that you all
had a blast.  (L to R) Duane, Grady, Stacy and Michelle.



Another beautiful sunset in the desert.

Three Words:  Sun, Sand, Safari!
