Moab Monday

It's hard to show a made over feeling.  That's what these Utah vacations do for all of us, though.  Here are just a few of the photos from our trip so far.

No matter how big she gets, there are still plenty of  "Sophie sized caves" around

A rugged group, rockhounding in the shade of the cliff for the "afternoon adventure".  We usually get out around 8am for our morning trip, come back for pool/lunch/rest, then back out for more fun before dinner.  We know how to navigate this heat!

I hope you enjoyed the photo tour.  No, (Donna, lol) I am not in any of these.  As the *photographer* in the family, I don't see the other side of the lens very often.  I'm hoping to get some whole family photos at some point, though... it's about time for another Moab family Christmas card!
