More and more lately I have been realizing it is the small and simple things that bring me the greatest joy in life. I don't need to be travelling the world, chasing a dream job, or fixated on acquiring 'more' (although I believe firmly in progressing and improving, I don't believe we should spend every moment obsessing about what we don't have yet - another post for another day).
Anyway, Mike asked me what I wanted to do for this Memorial Day weekend and the answer was simple.
Sleep.
Haha! Okay, we have had some quality naps - but I was super excited to have him home and to just be able to spend time with all my favorite boys!
We ventured out to a new work of art that has just been erected in the desert (Enterprise, Nevada - aka the middle of nowhere). This 3.5 million dollar project consists of neon boulders (7 stacks, 33 total) piled on one another to look like totem poles. In the synopsis I was reading online it said something about the artist wanting to focus on the "meditative art of rock balancing."
Blah, blah, blah... It was a cool looking tower of rocks in the desert. We enjoyed seeing them, and Calvin enjoyed running around, and of course, Daddy's shoulder rides.
Venturing out to see the cool rocks!
Here's a good picture that shows how tall the boulders were!
Wes even opened his eyes for this one!
This was Calvin when we got home ... obviously it was a good day for all!
We think we actually saw this landmark as we were heading back on one of our trips to San Diego. We had seen your post earlier and knew what to look for and happened to catch it out of the corner of our eye. We learn so much about places we have not seen from your posts. Thanks for your timely efforts🏜
