Hiking to the waterfalls

Much of these hikes were spent singing 'the ants go marching...hurrah hurrah!' and going on 'bear hunts' (don't worry, we didn't see any while hiking).

Beautiful Glacier National Park

Daddy, I NEED those sunglasses to see the waterfall

This was a very cool playground in Missoula

Smoke Jumpers of Missoula

We toured one of the major smoke jumper centers of the US in Missoula. It was very cool (smoke jumpers are forest fighters who are air-dropped into their assignments). The pictures here are of the tower where they hang their parachutes and the long tables where they fold and prep each chute for assignments.

Happy Father's Day!!

Wishing your Father's Day is drier than ours! :-)

Sundance

Justin was down at Sundance on Friday for a work retreat and snapped this cool picture

Southern Utah...wild and wacky

These were scenes from our drive between Lake Powell and Kodachrome State Park. We took 46 miles of good but unpaved road through some beautiful scenery including Grovesner's Arch. We popped out at Kodachrome State Park, named after the film for the beautiful colors in the rock with Kodak's permission. Unfortunately, we have no pictures from there but plan to go back.

From Antelope Canyon on land (see next post) to Antelope Canyon by water

So this is a different section of Antelope Canyon, although presumably attached to the same one we toured below. This was one area among a few we saw from a boat ride we took on Lake Powell (Glen Canyon Dam). It was pretty cool. We camped two nights by the marina, which was quite fun although VERY windy.

The Canyon at the end of the Bumpity Bumpy Ride

This was a slot canyon called Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ (near Lake Powell), where we went this weekend. It was gorgeous...Amara was particularly excited by the bumpity-bumpy ride we took to get there - think 3.5 miles on a sandy wash on a bench in the back of a safari-like truck. It was in Navajo Nation, so no 'buckles' (e.g. carseat) required - she was thrilled and couldn't stop giggling.
