7 Months

Emery is 7 months old and on the move! She's not quite crawling yet but is scooting, rolling and army crawling to get across a room. She also cut her first tooth yesterday, a full six months sooner than Jackson.

Moab II

Due to a scheduling error made on our previous trip to Moab, we went back this week for a couple of days. It was a bit colder this time but the snow on the mountains was a gorgeous contrast to the red rock. We went to an exotic animal petting zoo the first day. Jackson got nipped by the ostrich but still had fun.



Jackson was very excited about the train tracks we crossed on the way to Corona Arch



Corona Arch (right) & Bow Tie Arch (left)




This was the longest hike we have attempted with the kids (about 3 miles round trip). They did pretty good considering it was windy and chilly but still so beautiful!



Fisher Towers


Tim has always wanted to take the road to Gemini Bridges. This first part overlooks 191 and Arches.



Then the road winds back into this.



Then this


This was the only part we really needed the 4 wheel drive for and Tim wanted to check it out before I drove up



Gemini Bridges


Here we are on one of the bridges


The gap between the two bridges is about 8 feet. Someone did attempt to jump the gap and died trying.



Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
