Jen's a Vampire?

Here's Jen's modified (?) Halloween pic, by Jonathan.

(Jonathan would like me to especially credit his supreme photography skills.

I will also credit Jen's creative and stylistic flair.)

Fall Break 2011

For Fall Break this year (October 21-23), we went to Moab. It was so much fun!!!

On the first day we were there, we were able to meet up with our Burns cousins for an evening. Our families hiked to the Delicate Arch together at sunset.

The next morning, we drove out to Dead Horse Point and hiked around there. The view was incredible!

One evening, we hiked to Landscape Arch.

One of the highlights of our trip was a 1/2-day river rafting adventure (from Moab Adventure Center/Western Rafting). We floated down a 7-mile stretch of the Colorado River. Our tour included a stop for a delicious riverside BBQ lunch at Red Cliffs Ranch, as well as a few little rapids. It was a perfect time of year to go for the kids--the water was low, the rapids were mild, and it turned out to be the LAST warm weekend of the fall! What a perfect way to spend it!!
