About two weeks ago we headed down to Moab for a vacation. It was AWESOME! We left Tuesday and surprised the kids with a night in a hotel in Green River. We had a great time and they even got to go swimming.
The "long" car ride!
This was a sweet sunset in Green River. The camera doesn't do it justice, but the sun on the mountains was beautiful.
Swimming in the hotel pool.
Wednesday moring we drove to this place called Sego Canyon. It is a ghost town that used to mine coal. It had some really cool petroglyphs and pictographs and some old buildings.
Then we stopped and saw some dinosaur tracks. This one was very cool! Can you see it?
This is called Gold Bar Arch. We visited this place on Thursday with most of Jared's family. We had to go on some major rock crawling/4-wheeling roads to make it and then you had to hike quite a ways to see it. I stayed back at the truck with Mason and Garet, but Camille went along for the hike.
This was a minature arch that the kids thought was cool. You can walk across the top.

Another cool rock formation.
This was called Birthing Rock. My cousin Kandie and her family were down in Moab at the same time we were, so we spent part of the day with them.

You can see why it's called "Birthing Rock". Wow, that's a big baby!
Sweet Mason baby!
All the kids were waiting for Dad and Grandpa to hike to the top to see an arch, so they found some of their own rocks to climb on.
They made it to the top!
This was a cool canyon that had two arches at the end and a stream. It was gorgeous this time of year. Camille and I fell into the stream trying to cross it. She slipped and I tried to help her and we both tumbled in. She was wet up to her neck, I was wet up to my waist! It was pretty funny. She didn't think so.
Mason was worn out!
Sister-in-laws are the best!
