Happy Halloween

Morgan was very insistent that he wanted to be a pirate this year for Halloween. Yet, he *refused* to put the costume on. The teapot from Beauty and the Beast was the *ONLY* costume that he would put on. He is convinced that it is an elephant.

So here is the "elephant" costume of 2011!

Showing off his golden tail ;-)

From the front porch last night...

Fun at Nana and PaPa's Playground

Measuring time! At last count, he was 3' 2.5" tall!

Hanging with Daddy!

In an effort to get all of the kids to smile, Mere was standing behind us with puppets...
Clearly some of the kids were not quite sure what to make of the show!

River Rat

We were lucky enough to get an invite to float the San Juan with some friends. Thanks Jeff, Chelsea and Dylan!

We started out on Friday June 17th with the drive from SLC to Bluff, UT. With stops for cheeseburgers at Ray's in Green River and Moab for sundries.

Lunch on the river, Saturday. Looking at the Butler Wash Panel Petroglyphs.

Just like living in a sand box for four days!

We kept trying to get the kids to move to the shade... we finally got wise and moved the shade to the kids.

*Insert here day 2 on the river*
Day 2 consisted of a major wind storm and a revolt on the side of the river to go no further!

Welcome to beautiful and sunny day 3!

We kept trying to take his PFD off and he would have *NONE* of it!

Many hours were spent happily in the sand.

We ended our wonderful journey 4 days later, 28 miles downriver in Mexican Hat, UT.

Can't wait to do it again!
