Trying out the 4WD

Rachel was at a birthday party this afternoon so I decided to take Sam on a date...driving in the dirt. (we have to get creative out here) And yes--it was my idea...not his :-)

And for the record, not only is our Xterra cute--it is AMAZING off-roading in 4WD!!

(no way would I have dared drive out here in our little honda accord)

A nice view looking down on Chinle

Pretty fall leaves (on the few trees we found)

Cool Rocks--not the infamous "window rock" but similar, and only 5 miles from our house

A good hair day for the girls--a must to document
