A Photo Buffet

 A day at the zoo.

 Kory and Naomi hiked to Naomi Peak.  Naomi loves having her own special place!

 Grandma Pitcher's 80th birthday celebration.

 Graysen impressed the aunts when he was able to rock Gordon to sleep.

 Naomi sometimes wishes she was the baby of the family.

 At the Pitcher family reunion every summer there is a flyby where an airplane drops bandana parachutes tied to bags of candy.  The kids love it!

 Graysen brought home fun things from Ecuador.  He'll do a separate post when he gets all his pictures together.

 Naomi's first day of Fifth Grade!

 Gray's first day as a Freshman!

 The kids and I drove up Logan canyon a few weeks ago to check out fall leaves.

Moab Getaway

The kids had a few days off school so we packed up and headed on our first vacation with Gordon.  The weather was perfect and we could have used another week to actually fit in all the things we wanted to do.  

 We stayed in the cabins at the Moab KOA. 

 I love these two pictures.  Gordon really wants his cheetos!

 Getting ready for a short hike.

 Lots of photographers were gathering to take pics at sunset.  I'm amazed at how many people are camped out all over the park hoping for the best shot.

 While the older boys biked Slickrock, Naomi, Gordon and I went mini golfing and chilled at the cabin.

 The kids favorite place to play - Sand Dune Arch.  They call it "the slot canyon" cause they spend most of their time seeing how far up the narrow canyon they can get.  I remember as a kid that you could jump off the arch into the sand but there's not enough sand to do that anymore.   

 Watching General Conference can take a lot out of a kid, so a little walk/skate/bike ride was in order.

 This is how Naomi tackles a hill on roller blades.

 This is how Naomi handles a dirt trail on roller blades.  

Though it doesn't show, we did have lots of sidewalk. 

 The trees in the valley are starting to turn, love the colors of fall!
