Palm Valley (again)

Some good friends of ours are getting ready to leave Alice.  Its one of the hardest things about living here is making friends and having them move away.  Before they left there are a few places left they wanted to see and one was Palm Valley.



 However, Palm Valley requires 4WD and they weren't sure that their AWD vehicle would do it.  So, since we love the place and our truck has 7 seats we all piled into "The Beast" as I call it and headed out for the day.


Having a quick lunch before heading out on our hike.  (It takes about 2 hours to get to Palm Valley, so of course we timed it so we could be there at the hottest time of the day.)


Jamie went with our friends to walk along the rim walk, while Ian and I took Braden and Gavin on the easier valley walk.



Jamie had a great time holding up the rocks and throwing stones into puddles left over from a recent rain.
