Monument Valley Tour

So I really haven't posted forever! The book fair went really well, making more than double my goal. It was a lot of work- but it worked out well. I wish I could say it's totally done and out of the way- but the freight company only comes out here the second Thursday of each month- and I called on the second Friday- so we just have to wait until January- otherwise it went great!
So before Thanksgiving we went on a tour of the back country of Monument Valley. We have driven around it before, but there are many roads you can't go on that we went on on the tour. The Lafont's- our new friends from the library- who actually manage Gouldings invited us on the tour. They have twin girls Spencer's age. He absolutely loves to play with them. This was an amazing tour. I felt like a new explorer. It was cold- but beautiful!
So in no particular order, here are the pictures
Spencer is holding up one finger like the monument in the background, the totem pole

This is inside "The Hogan." It's supposed to look like an eagle when you look up at it- I didn't see it, but I don't have that huge of an imagination.

That's James out there in the distance. We mostly put him down in the dirt to play while we explored, he was perfectly content, and my arms got a little break.



Spencer was a regular mountain goat, and he loved climbing on the rocks!
Here are Vivi and Dessa climbing the hill. Isn't it cute that they are holding hands? This was a huge sand dune!
This pictures is sideways- I don't know how to turn it at this point, so just imagine!
This is water left from rain about 2 weeks before, that's pretty crazy. Spencer loved throwing rocks in the water.



James playing in the dirt- we live in a good place for boys who love to play in the dirt.
Our attempt at a family picture, it was freezing up here. Once we got into the valley it blocked the wind a little.

A little better family picture
All the kids throwing rocks into the water
Can you see the dragon sleeping?
Checking out the wares
We took the sunset tour- so the ride back was beautiful.
It was a great tour! We had so much fun- the boys loved it. Dirt, rocks and a bumpy ride, right up their alley.
We are very sad that the Lafont's actually moved last week. We miss them already!
