Moab July 2, 2009

All of these pictures are from Thursday July 2, 2009- We did so much that day and had so many great photo opportunities that I couldn't help but take a million- this is only maybe a tenth of how many I took...I hope you enjoy them!

These first photos are from a place called Sandy Beach along the Colorado River- we had the whole beach to ourselves all morning and the kids had a BLAST!!!

Isn't Abby so cute?! She was proud of this first sand castle that she made with Daddy...

Lucas jumping over the very small waves that came to shore from the river- it was cold water, but the kids didn't mind at all...

Nice action shot of Abby...

You know, the kids often do argue and stuff because of being siblings, but I am so proud of them for how often they get along and play well together!

Lucas and Abby were both running around, Abby stopped long enough to look cute for a photo just as Lucas ran by...I like it anyways!

Could Abby be any cuter?! I love how her butt looks in this photo!

Abby made a really cool sand castle with the wet mud, dripping it into a big pile- I thought it looked really neat!
Lucas LOVED digging moats for the water to fill...

ATV-ing with the Boyles that afternoon....

Lucas loved ATV-ing.... He kept calling for Emma (who was driving the ATV he was on) to go faster!!!

Sherri and Abby hanging out eating oranges during lunch...

Us on the top of Gemini Arches... a very fun and cool place- the pictures hardly do it justice...
This bench has NOTHING under it, it looks like you are about to fall into the canyon below---again the photo doesn't do it justice....

Arches National Park later that afternoon....

Floating rock- we each made our own as well...

I like Drew's the best...

Abby giving Grandpa a big hug on the butt....

Shawn had just carried Lucas up a bunch of stairs and was tired...Cory decided to take advantage of this....

Abby and Lucas loved climbing on the rocks!!!

We killed some time on Friday morning throwing rocks waiting for our ride to the place where we would start rafting
This is what Abby looks like just after she has thrown a rock...

Here is the prep shot for throwing it, we loved her stance...

Nice action shot of Shawn

Well, anyhow, we had a great day- hope you enjoyed the photos!
