A Visit From South Carolina III

So here are the first photos from Arches National Park. We drove down to Moab on Sunday and first thing Monday morning we went out to the Ranger Station. Erin signed up to become a Junior Ranger. In order to earn her ranger badge she had to fill out a booklet and complete a few tasks around the park (like picking up trash and finding animal tracks, etc.). Enjoy!

 

 

We dressed for the 74 degree temperature not quite thinking about how cool it would be at the start. Hence the oversized jackets and shorts.

 

We took the longest hike of the day first thing that morning at the site furthest into the park. That way, as we got tired we'd be closer to the exit and it would be less crowded.

 

 

 

 

We ruined several pair of socks with the red dirt.

 

 

 

 



A Visit From South Carolina II

We stopped at one of the local road side stands to buy some pumpkins for carving. It was a beautiful day and the produce was awesome!

 

 

 

              

 

 

 

We picked out the best pumpkins and took them home to carve up.

 

 

 



A Visit From South Carolina I

Pam and Brent came to spend a week with us at the beginning of October. We visited the Temple, stopped at a roadside fruit stand, had several road trips around Brigham and Ogden and up into the mountains. We even made a trip down to Moab to Arches National Park. It was a great visit and we can't wait to see them again!

 

         

 

On to the mountains!

 

 

 

 



Lance's Raingutter Regatta

On September 26 Lance participated in the Boy Scouts Rain Gutter Regatta. He and Chad worked on his boat over the course of a few days and really enjoyed themselves.

 

Although he didn't win any of his laps, he had fun and did get the certificate for Best of Show!
