My Birthday Weekend...

...was spent at the only place I can call Heaven on Earth, the Devil's River. We rough it down there, truly. I don't need a house or running water (except that of the river). Bathing in the crisp water is the most amazing experience. I feel sorry for so many people that have never experienced this place.
We brought along our best friends, TJ and Pam Thorp, for the most amazingly fun weekend. Here are some pictures from our trip.

The cactus was blooming and it was GORGEOUS!!!
The octillo was amazing. What a unique plant!

The most precious cactus flower on the smaller cactus growing in the crack of a rock.

A lamb taking a peek at me.

The port...and our kayaks. Mine is the pink one.

Civilization, or the closest thing to it, since there is electricity for us while camping.

Sleeping Beauty naps while Pam and I jam out to our music.

A view of the river.

The rush of water at Three Tiers Falls.

The monsterous house across the river. Yes, this is someone's house and he flies in on a jet. He should be jealous of our place though, we are truly experiencing the beauty of the Devil's River.
***On another note, I won't be blogging for a little while but I will update y'all on all of that after I am done***
