Zion National Park

My parents agreed to come down to Vegas for a week to take care of Quinn while I went to a conference. No photos of Vegas but lots of Zion! We spent 1 1/2 days there before the conference. Should have stayed all week...


Morning light on the scenic route.


Nanny and Grandpa with Quinn at the top of the Carmel Highway.

Short hike to the overlook of the canyon.


An overhang en route to the viewpoint.

Group shot


Sunrise at Temple of the Virgin


The Narrows


Sunset looking at the Watchman. There were about 40 photographers lined up on a bridge to take this shot. And they are protective of their real estate. Don't touch them, their tripod, or even talk to them. It is VERY serious buisness taking photos. Don't have any fun. Ha ha.

Overdue Update

RALPH LAUREN PHOTO SHOOT:
Quinn's first button down shirt - a gift from a friend of the family - turned out to be a hit. Luckily he didn't pee on it...



NEW FARM:
Quinn loves his farm. It is hours of entertainment for him and a bit of free time for Mom.



OH, THE BEAR HAT:
I couldn't resist

QUINN'S FIRST HALLOWEEN:

This started as a good idea. Notice there are only 5 kids (of many many more) on the couch.

Carving the squash-pumpkin with Dad. Calgary had a critical shortage of pumpkins this year. Kip felt that it wouldn't be halloween without carving something. Quinn clearly doesn't know the difference!


Admiring Dad's work.


All was good until Ethan decided that it would be way more fun to hold the pumpkin than his brother Noah...

Trick or treating with Dad.
