4th of July

It was time for us to celebrate independence day, an important day for all Australians, ensuring that we would always be the top medal winner at the Commonwealth games. We had a great day, relaxing, swimming and watching the fireworks!

Arches National Park

Last weekend Dane, George and I went on a trip to Arches National Park (otherwise known as the wonderful world of erosion). Apart from it being about 40*C plus, we had a awesome time exploring a bit of Utah.

Dane and George excited to be at the arches.

Dane ensuring that the "Balanced rock" did not fall down.

Jaci climbing into one of the ruins. Hundreds of years ago the pueblo people lived and built homes in the middle of this desert. Jaci is climbing down into to one of their houses. It was atleast 10-20* cooler inside.
