MOAB

We went to Moab this last weekend with some of our friends and had so much FUN! Sorry the Pictures are so random. I tried putting some on that weren't on Facebook.  

We left on Friday afternoon and didn't get to Moab until about 7:00. We had a few car troubles (the Transmission fluid was getting hot?) but we made it there ok. Corey & Becky drove down with us with their little boy. Landon and Kim with their little girl went down earlier and stayed in a hotel.

We first stopped at the sand hill. We climbed up it and ran or jumped down. It was actually quite fun. The kids loved it!

After that we drove around for a few hours trying to find a camping spot. I though we were never going to find anything. Landon found a spot for us and we were so happy.  We recently got a camp trailer and got to take that this trip which was so fun. We loved it.



You can see the parachute guy if you look closely.




The next day we went on a hike that was right by our campsite. This was an amazing hike! We saw a lot of beautiful sites. At the end of the hike we got to see a large arch. People were repelling down it and we watched them for a while. Logan had a little parachute man and Jeff asked the people if they would drop it from the arch. They said they would and they did it! It was kind of cool seeing it parachute down off of the arch. Everyone around stopped and watched it.

 

 

After the hike we all got ready and went to Landon and Kims hotel pool. We thought it would be nice to get in after the long hot hike but when we got there the clouds came in and it was a little chilly. The kids had fun in the hot tub though.

That night we all went to dinner at the Moab Diner. Yummy! We all loved it. We also got ice cream!



The next day was Sunday and we woke up to a lot of rain and wind. We all piled up in the trailer and watched movies and ate a yummy breakfast. We tried listening to G. Conference but we couldn't get service where we were at the campsite. So we drove over and checked out a waterfall.

(Ok I can't put pictures with the appropriate text anymore so Whatever! This is why I hate to Blog! Lindsay you need to teach me how to do this so I dont' go crazy because I know this can't be right because no one would blog if it was!!!)



We also go to go see some dinosaur tracks! It was kind of cool. Jeff and the kids hiked up to get a closer look and took some pics. The picture with Sienna and Logan and the rock is the tracks.

I got to do a little dutch oven cooking while we were there. I made potatoes and BBQ chicken. Becky also made a dutch oven dessert which was so good. The kids loved to hang out at the campsite and play in the sand and dirt.

 The next day Corey and Becky left and our little family decided to go on what we thought was a little hike. It ended up being 4 1/2 miles round trip. We hiked on a trail in Negro Bill Canyon. The kids were real troopers though! It was very long and tiring. We hiked to a bridge that was pretty cool but I don't know if the long hike was worth it or not.. We got some pretty cool pictures

Some other cool things we did while we were there were:

Flew a kite that we lost over a canyon because it got to high and the line broke.

Played at a park

Played card games in the trailer.

Roasted hot dogs and sat by a fire

Tossed rocks in the river.

Drove around and looked at some cool sites.

Shopped at the places in town.
