Fall Break Fun

So for Fall Break, Dan and I, and our friends Jeff, Michelle and baby, (and the USU Rocket Team) went down to New Mexico to the Navajo Nation!  The rocket team were down there to do outreach to 800+ elementary school kids about rockets and rocketry.  They did an awesome job!   Afterwards, we went to the Four Corners Monument!  It was fun to see all the different booths that people had there.  Baby even got a free bracelet even though he's a boy haha! 

That night we were going to go to Arches and find a campsite and camp for the night.  Well, there wasn't a camping site or hotel room within a hundred miles of Arches.... So we ended up sleeping in the car, with four adults and a baby, and a lot of stuff still in the car.  Let's just say it was not exactly the best night's rest any of us had gotten in a while.  But we went into Arches that morning and did some hiking and had a fantastic day!  I'll post more pictures later!  But for your enjoyment, here is a video from that morning.

Help!!!

So I need some ideas for a couple of things.  My birthday is coming up and Dan has been asking me what I want, but I don't know what to tell him.  There's not really a lot of things I want currently, I mean I have a few ideas that would be nice but none of them are must haves.  Here's my list so far:
-hiking shoes
-camelbak backpack
-one of those cool chairs that I posted about earlier

Anyone have any other ideas?

Also, I need a good idea for Dan's anniversary gift.  Our first anniversary is about six weeks away and I don't know what to get him!!!  I know the first anniversary gift is paper but I don't know where to go with it.

P.S. He won't read this so don't feel bad about posting any ideas!
