Golden Arches

By -
With our remaining time in Utah limited, we decided to finally visit Moab during my Mom's visit. Not only did we hike some great trails, but we also enjoyed the amazing and unique landscapes of Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. The weather was perfect for taking photographs of the interesting rock formations.

The view through Landscape Arch in Canyonlands on our first hike:
A window or arch in the distance (we never figured out the difference between windows and arches):
The sky was overcast most of the day, but at sunset, the clouds broke and the formations at the Garden of Eden in Arches were immersed in warm light (photo by Karen):
The nearly full moon also appeared through the clouds:
Karen got a shot of me taking the previous photo (with the moon):
It was fun to take pictures in such an interesting setting.

We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
