Arches National Monument

The girls pose for a classic tourist shot at Arches National Monument outside Moab, Utah. Bowing to fatherly pressure Olivia does her best to refrain from striking one of her runway model poses (see below, where do they learn this stuff??!!)

Big Yellow Kayak

My mom and dad enjoyed exploring Lake Powell in the Big Yellow Kayak we carried around on the back of the houseboat.

Moveable Waterfront Apartment with Awesome Views

We rented a houseboat on Lake Powell on the Utah/Arizona border. Each day we took the houseboat farther up or down the lake to a new canyon or cove in search of a nice secluded anchorage with great views and a good swimming beach. It was great way to see some amazing scenery and enjoy the water.

The Annunciation in the Kiva

Olivia communes with a beam of Sunlight in a ceremonial chamber called a Kiva at Spruce Tree House cliff dwelling, Mesa Verde, Colorado.

Under the Milky Way Tonight

Standing (very still for the 30 second exposure) by our dying campfire Joana is back-lit by the Milky Way at our evening anchorage between Oak Canyon Bay and Hidden Canyon, Lake Powell, Utah.
