Jeff and Penny took their kids to nearby Arches National Park this afternoon. They had to buy a new annual parks pass, which costs $25 for locals. Their kids enjoyed playing near Sand Dune Arch while Jeff and Penny took photos. The bottom picture shows River holding her baby sister Geneva (now almost four months old).

Here are a few pictures of Moab's local high school and some of its students. There are about 450 students in total enrolled at the school, in grades 9 through 12. The building was constructed a little over 10 years ago.

A popular form of community dinner in the United States is called a "potluck" dinner, in which each person or family attending the dinner brings a dish of their own choosing to share. Sometimes, organizers will specify a particular category for people to bring, such as casserole, salad, or dessert. But most of the time, people are free to bring whatever they want. Tonight at a local church building, Jeff's family enjoyed the potluck dinner pictured here. On Jeff's plate: pasta casserole with hamburger, chili stew, dinner roll, sliced turkey, Swiss cheese, and potato casserole. Dessert was ice cream sundaes, which were supplied by the church.
