We had so much fun on our trip to Moab a couple weeks ago. (I'm a little slow posting) We went down with Jarett & Shari and their kids. We only stayed a couple of days, but it was still fun.
The weather was wonderful! We went the first night, and watched the sunset through one of the arches at Arches National Park. The kids had a lot of fun climbing on all the rocks, and Weston & I had fun trying out my new Christmas present (new camera) I know, it's not Christmas, but I couldn't resist! The next day we went on a 4 mile hike with the kids. Picture this, if you will, 4 adults 7 kids, & 2 dogs, on a 5 HOUR HIKE!!! (It's a good thing I color my hair, my grey would have been shining through after that one!) We had to cross the little stream that ran down the center of the canyon at least a hundred and fifty thousand times! Ok, so maybe not quite that many, but it sure seemed like a lot. The kids had a lot of fun, even though every inch of them was wet, and covered in sand. I guess those kind of things don't bother kids, if they are having fun. But next time, I think that Shari & I should get to pick the hiking spot. All in all, it was a great weekend, too bad we couldn't stay for a bit longer. Maybe next year!
