Halloween 2011

We're hicks. I guess. Ha. Josh got a couple of John Deer hats at a career fair at BYU so we decided to put them to use. You can't really tell from this picture, but Josh is also sporting a lovely mustache. He sort of looks like a pedifile...

We had a great time at Adobe's Halloween Party. Josh and I were joined by Courtney and Landon, and Kellen and Annie.

Buzz Lightyear! We kind of felt like we were at Disneyworld...

This is Kellen with the tarantula...it was really big. His costume is pretty awesome!

Landon and Court with the boa constrictor. As Courtney was distracted with the snake, the circus man put the tarantua on her head! We all thought this was why she was digging her face into Landon's chest. Come to find out...she didn't even know it was on her head! Ewwww!

Court and Landon with the snake.

Our Subway Adventure

THE SUBWAY!

8/15/2011 The starting line...or the parking lot.

This is on the top of the ridge before we drop down into the canyon. You can see Zion's in the background. Really pretty!

The decent into the canyon and the view.

Here's where we start to get closer to a lot of the huge red rock walls.

Right behind us is the beginning of the slot canyon we went down into.

This is the slot canyon just before we had started our repelling.

Looking off the cliff...

Looking down from the cliff...

The beginning of our repel. A little scary just stepping off the cliff and trusting the rope, but it was awesome!

Here we are in our gear! Nice and snug!

Melissa starting here repel.

Just a few feet closer to the bottom.

Here is a view looking back at the cliff we repelled down.

A lot of the hike looks like this.

Here's Josh beginning his decent at another cliff.

This is the bottom of the cliff. Not a bad drop...

This is the view from the last big cliff we went off of. It was really pretty to drop into a canyon and be surrounded by all of this.

Melissa starting her decent down.

Looking good! We had to get a few bum shots in haha.

Spiderwoman!

This is the cliff Melissa just finished and the one Josh is just about to start. Half-way down is a free fall...no feet against the rock wall.

Josh's version of Melissa's upside down hang...Didn't turn-out as well.

Here's the sandy trail and some more of the red walls.

More sandy trail and walls...

This is the first swimming hole we came to. We threw our backpacks across and then waded through the water.

This is us on the other side of the water hole. You can see it behind us.

Another short walk through the water between the cliffs.

River walking and waterfalls!

I guess it is finally time for me to get this blog going. It has been a long time coming...I've even tried getting it going a couple of times. But this time, I'm serious! Hopefully this can help keep all of us a bit more connected. I'll start with a quick photo review of the past two years of our wonderful marriage!
