Jessie and Pat visit Utah

Jessie and Pat came to visit and we had a lot of fun. First, we had an outdoor movie night on our house, which was a lot of fun. My aunt Becky brought her movie theater popping machine. It made the best popcorn. Then we went to "Jump on it", "Classic Rolling Skating", and, of course, Taco Amigo. Tori, Wade, Cassie, and her kids all met us there. It was a blast. We love when family comes to visit (most family). There are also pictures of the 1st snow fall of the year in October. I'm not looking forward to winter yet.

Goblin Valley Outing




The sculptured rock formations in Utah are always worth the drive. This time Darron & Jamie chose the destination: Goblin Valley. The weather was perfect and the goblins were cool (the goblins are the rock formations for those w/o imaginations). After the goblins, we drove to a trail head and then hiked where there was absolutely no trail, just a dry stream. We saw a lot of lizards, found a bunch of geodes, enjoyed the natural landscapes, spent good family time together, and took a few pictures.


These last two pics demonstrate a huge difference in personalities. Robby is pushing a boulder down into the valley onto a group of unsuspecting happily picnicking orphans. Darron is bracing a boulder from tumbling onto the same group.
