Wandering Words

Here are some more pictures from our trip last month...sorry I never got ambitious enough to post them sooner...or annotate them more.

	Big hole Those specks on the road are actually *huge* dump trucks crawling up the Bingham Copper Mine.
	Matthew and Uncle Alan at the Salt Lake Temple We spent some time with Carolyn's family at Temple Square.
	Family portrait at the Salt Lake temple They had the grounds of the Salt Lake Temple open to go in and take pictures.
	Alan at the MTC The raison d'être of the trip.
	Saying bye to Uncle Alan Matthew spending time with Alan before he enters the MTC.
	Valley of the Goblins Always fun to go play with the goblins...
	Family Portrait in Chute Canyon Our trip back to the San Rafael Swell, all the way down the Behind-the-Reef Road.
	Grinning in the Backpack Little guy having a fun time on our hike in Chute Canyon.
	Sun Going Down at Bullfrog Marina We got to Lake Powell later in the day and got to enjoy the light on the redrock.
	Whew...out of the Pack! Taking a break on our hike down Maidenwater Canyon.
	Looking down at the San Juan River The (cloudy) view from Muley Point, down to the San Juan River. It's NOWHERE near as impressive an experience to see the picture as it is to see the cliffs in person.
	Ruins on the Rocks The handiwork of some of the incredible masons whose ruins are preserved at Hovenweep National Monument.
	Bisti Badlands Some of the funkiest sculptures Mother Nature could come up with (along with lots of fossils and petrified wood) at the Bisti Badlands in NW New Mexico.
	Ooooh! Camera! Matthew's customary position for most of the trip. What a trooper!
