Halloween

I'll add more later.

Cancun - Company Trip

This was my favorite part of the trip. A Sinote named "Rio Secreto". It was about a 1.5 hr. walk and swim thru this cave. Leesa told me that it was probably the coolest thing that she has ever done.

We swam thru this underground passage. It was the best part of the trip!

Looking out toward the entrance.

Cirrus clouds just before we descended into Cancun.

The beach looking East from our hotel; The Ritz-Carlton.

Just outside of our room was this hanging garden. The plants hang from the 8th and 9th floors down to the 4th floor.

This is the view from our balcony.

Me in the Ocean at our hotel. The color of the water and the sky was amazing!

Lifeguard shack.

Us at the "Rio Secreto" location where we were served lunch and then got a long van ride back to our hotel.

At the "Club Grill" at our hotel. There were 4 restaurants at the hotel. All 5 Star. The food was very good but honestly I think that the food at Carabbas is better.

Fall colors and cute kids

Capturing a good smile with Austin is a little more challenging than with the girls who have gotten pretty good at posing for the camera.

The road to the Squaw Peak lookout and Rock Canyon Campground is one of the best places to see the fall colors. Check out my photo blog to see more pics.

Moon Lake Trip

We finally made it to Moon this year. Almost didn't think that it was going to happen although we were only there for a few days. There weren't any cabins available so we stayed at the Rock Creek Bed and Breakfast.

Of course we had to stop by the Moon Lake Lodge to see the hummingbirds.

We spent time on the beach planing in the sand...

...and in the mud, throwing rocks in the water....

wading,

...and building islands.

This photo is of the night sky over Altamont, Bonetta and the surrounding small towns.

The Milky Way.

A beautiful spot on the road to Arta Lake.

This is about as good as it gets to getting Austin to hold still.

This is how we roll. Yes, the Girls did hang out the windows when we were off road.

Living Planet Aquarium

Part two of the Staycation was a trip to the Living Planet Aquarium. There were some pretty cool things but as a whole I felt that the whole this was kind of "hokey". Good thing that it wasn't too expensive.

There is a display where you are allowed to touch the stingrays as well as some other small creatures like starfish and crabs.

Staycation

Again work has kept us from going out of town on a vacation. So, as part of our "staycation" we went to the Hogle Zoo.

Our favorite part of the Zoo was the bird show. You can see more photos on my photography blog. http://utahstockphotography.blogspot.com/

Austin making a donation.

$5 in donations earn us the opportunity to take pictures with the Bald Eagle.

This is the new baby giraffe just over 24 hours old.

Father and Son Outing

We joined our Ward at the Whiting Campground in Mapleton for the annual Fathers and Sons Campout. Austin and I only stayed until it was dark .


We spent all our time hiking around, taking pictures, playing with stick and rocks and looking for bugs. Good times!
