Moab in October

We went to Moab again, this time for our friend Michelle's 40th birthday. We had some great hiking weather and the scenery never gets old. 

One of new favorite hikes is the Fisher Towers hike.  Amazing fins that people actually climb.

The Jewell Tibbet Arch hike is another favorite because we never see anyone else on the hike. This time we did not see any other hikers but we did watch a helicopter land on a ledge and drop off a person with climbing gear.

Our last and most challenging hike was the Moab Rim Trail.  It's about a mile and a half and climbs 900 feet to an overlook of the Moab valley.  The kids did great and the view was worth it!

Grandparetns Day 2012

This year we went to Mirror Lake and the Provo River Falls for our Grandparents Day adventure.  We had beautiful weather, a fun hike around the lake and got to see parts of the falls we haven't seen before because the water was so low.

 












Ballet

Emery started ballet classes in September and loves it. I think she especially likes dressing up in her leotard, tights and ballet shoes.
