Moab 2009



This year we did things a little different. We didn't go on a jeep trail, there were only a few of us that came, and we camped. Luckily Ben's parents came so that we had a few more people. We went to Deadhorse point, I haven't been there in years, and I forgot how beautiful it is. We stayed at Moab Valley camping area, Luke was SO excited to build his tent. The whole first day Luke and Abby carried around their lanterns even though it was light. The kids flew kites, had an easter egg hunt and ran around till they about passed out from fatigue. They slept so well, even though it was quite chilly at nights. We did end up coming home a day early because it started raining, and the kids got miserable pretty fast. I forget how beautiful Moab is, until we get back every year. What a great trip!

That is too bad that it rained. And while camping!! There is nothing worse. I miss Moab! Owen's never been and I honestly can't remember when I was there last. Sad :(

I also love Moab. Our son Wesley was a guide on the Colorado River going out of Moab ---- back about 1995 --- so he as well as us --- learned to love the area. Glad you had such a good time.
