Amazing Grand Gulch. What an amazing trip. I have never seen Indian ruins and these were simply marvelous. We stayed four days and had a great time. I have to admit that sometimes I think we are kind of crazy to go backpacking with a baby. But the truth is, a baby is always high maintenance no matter where you are. Here are some pics of the trip. I made Riv a little sleeping bag and I was so surprised how well she slept. I love the picture of her taking a nap under the cottonwood trees. She did so great. Only one tantrum and we just took a break and pumped some water while she screamed like a banshee. Sorry to our fellow campers who were on hot pursuit of the screaming bobcat only to discover a 10 month old baby. She does sound remarkably like a member of the cat family. And sorry to Alex for singing Christmas songs the whole way. What, those are the only songs I know the words too. But once he did slip and sing...."of Christmases long long ago...." Ha ha.

The pics are awesome. I LOVE the face Riv is making when alex is holding her hood and helping her walk! It is priceless! Can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks.

What a beautiful amazing trip. I think that some of Utah's (the whole southwest's, really) prime treasures are the Anasazi ruins. I've been wanting to see Grand Gulch for some time. What's that kiva Kathy's popping out of? Awesome. And kudos to you guys for bringing River! (as if you wouldn't).

You amaze me! You made that sleepingbag?! Looks like you bought it. Hey lady! How's it going? We should plan a get together for the kids first b-day. Can you believe it has already been a year? We miss you both! Call me so we can get together. Is alex still in school or does he get a break?

Those photos are amazing. Looks you all had a great time. Rock on for taking River. I have never taken Kitty camping.... must do. That sleeping bag is so funny and cool, no wonder you are the raddest person I know.
