Yay! Our computer is back! Now it's catch up time! All my pictures and video are lost though, most of them were uploaded to Kodak Gallery but not all (like our cruise pictures, Lynette and Paige, help!) So learn from me, if you haven't backed up your pictures do it now!
Over Labor Day we went down to Capitol Reef with my family. I haven't been there since I was a kid and barely remember that and Mark has never been there, actually never experienced too much of Southern Utah so it was a fun trip. We got some little cabins at a nearby campground, just big enough for two beds but it had electricity so that made all the difference! Much nicer to have walls surrounding you when you have little ones. It poured when we first got there but that didn't stop the kids from running around outside. Kenya splashed around with little Knox while Mark set up the little TV with bunny ears and watched the Utah football opener (couldn't miss that now could we! :)) Another plus of the electricity. We ate our tin foil dinners cooked in the rain by Amy and Eri and my bros and that was pretty much the end of the rain. The next day we took a drive down to the park and through the park. It was gorgeous. We got to do a little hike to a waterfall before we left. This was great to do before the drive home, my kids slept the whole 3 1/2 hours home. So maybe the night time cold medicine I slipped them helped a little. :) They were a bit congested. Anyway, we had a great trip. When we got home Charlie said "Mom, when are going camping again?" A 3 year olds dream!
This was at the end of the scenic drive. It was so beautiful we were winding right through the bottom of the red cliffs. 
There's the little monkey peeking out. She loved the back pack and was content the whole time. That's the beautiful muddy waterfall we hiked to. Small but cool.
There was a beautiful orchard among the red cliffs that you could go pick your own apples and peaches. It was a beautiful setting and the kids loved it. I never appreciated all those fruit trees we had when I was growing up. I hated picking those peaches, now I would love to have fruit trees!

You're back - I'm so happy! I'm sorry you lost all your pictures! I have a cd with all of the cruise ones, remind me when I see you next & I can burn you a copy. Looks like you guys had a great time on your trip! We need to get together again soon!
i was wondering what happened to you? What a great trip and it really looked like fun! Your kids are so cute! especially Kenya peeking out:)
Okay here comes a long post...I was told that you can dress really warm because it will be so cold up at the start. Then right when the race starts you can take your coat, sweater, whatever and just throw it off to the side. At the end of the race they will have tables set up and all the clothes they find they will sort by color so it's really easy to find yours. It would be easier to find your clothes if you have any bright colors because there won't be as many. So I am going to wear a jacket with sweat pants and just take them off right before I start. For the race I am going to wear a tank top with a long sleave shirt over it. That way if I get too hot I can just tye the long sleave around my waist or throw to the side. For bottoms I am going to wear capri's. Due to the fact that it's suppose to rain (ahhhh!) I don't want to freeze if all I have on is shorts. It's so hard to know what to wear when it's freezing at the start and hot and the finish. And then they throw the rain in the mix!!! I'm praying that the rain holds off until after we finish! Any more questions feel free to ask! See you soon.
Looks like fun! We love camping, especially Gavin :) Three year olds. They love that they can get as dirty as they want and nobody cares.
Sorry about your pictures. That's too bad.
