Wadi Rum

Camping in the middle of the Wadi Rum desert was a major highlight of the trip. We took a truck ride through the desert and just hung out in a place where we watched the sun set on one side of us and the moon rise on the other. It was a really cool moment. 

We all were in desperate need of a shower.

I love these two pictures because they show the sun setting in one view, and the moon in the other view.

 We stopped for some Bedouin tea and to take in the scenery (that looked so similar to Southern Utah, it was crazy).

The sun was so strong in the desert.  

Milly's lips are so kiss-able, I really want to eat them sometimes.

The night at the camp was a night I will never forget. We ate, sat around the fire while the Bedouins smoked the water pipe and we danced the night away to blaring music. 

I really had a poignant moment while watching Otis and Milly play with these kids. It was so special to watch them play and dance together. They didn't ever realize they didn't speak the same language. These kids were so kind and only spoke Arabic. They didn't have any pre-conceived notions or fears of each other, they were just happy to play.

Happy Birthday camel ride for Ty.
