The Risenmays came to visit us for fall break. Because they were able to borrow a 4-wheel drive we were able to show them some pretty fun things that require some pretty fun driving.
First we went to the "Riverhouse." This ruin is accessed from either the San Juan River, or a really fun 4 wheel drive road. This was great weather for it, not too wet or too dry. We hiked in the last mile which made us notice things we didn't when we drove in last time. Like this rock that Anna dubbed "the Disco rock." The cousins had a good time dancing together to the imaginary music.

And there is the River House.
Carrie telling all of us not to touch those.
The hiking party. I think it's cute that James and Ally are holding hands, they had a great time together!
The next day we went to the slot canyon, but it was full of water still and even with a rop we did not get very far in. Now we have a ladder, so we will have to try it again.
We played at the Sand Dunes instead. Devon and Mandy and Nathan scrambled up a rock wall to take this picture.
Then we buried Spencer in sand. Our tubs were pretty dirty that night, but we had a lot of fun. Also while they were here we had a Halloween party, played a lot of wall ball (Spencer and Jase) and animals (James and Ally). We roasted hot dogs, watched movies and really just had a great time. Oh yeah, and Carrie had a raging ear infection that was literally purple and the doctor said the worst he had seen. She was still pretty happy though, and we had a lot of fun. Everyone should come explore these fun places!
