Moab

Ok, so this post is coming to you almost six months late. But considering the fact that it's been just shy of a year since our last post, that shouldn't surprise you. :)

Sometime early in the summer (I honestly don't remember if it was April or May?) we went down to Moab with Cindy and Andrew Cox. We went to camp for the night, and the boys wanted to go climbing. We camped at a fun little spot that required a short hike through a big metal tube. It was SO hot, and there were a ton of bugs! Alma and I got down there first and set up camp and Cindy and Andrew got there a little later. We ate s'mores and hit the sack. The next morning, we were up pretty early so the boys could go climbing before it got too hot. We ate breakfast and headed out. Cindy and I went into town to get some water and Gatorade while Alma and Andrew started climbing. When we got back they were just finishing up their first climb and were drenched in sweat. It was way too hot to climb.

After we had some water, we decided that since we had all driven four hours to get down to Moab, we couldn't just leave. So we went to Arches National Park. Lucky for us, it happened to be free national park weekend, so we didn't even have to pay to get in! We drove through the park and occasionally got out to go for short hikes to see the scenery. But I must say that driving in the air conditioned car was MUCH nicer than being in the sweaty, bug-filled heat.








After we looked at everything we felt like we wanted to, we found a picnic bench in the shade and all shared a yummy lunch. Then we headed back home! It was a nice little weekend getaway :)
