Happy Birthday in Moab - Mason (6) and Paige (2)

This year instead of the going on the Deer Hunt we decided to do a Taylor family Moab trip over Fall break.  It was wonderful weather, which made a wonderful trip.  We headed down Wednesday morning to find the perfect camping spot.   The spot we thought we were going to didn't work out, but we found a great one that had slick rock right next to it, so we could ride our bikes right from camp.  Nate and Amanda met us that day too.  Everyone else came in the morning.

 We built a fire and cooked hobo dinners.  YUM!  They tasted so good because we were starving.

 Paige waiting so patiently.

 We found this little pond in the slick rock a few hundred yards from our camp.  We could bike right over to it.

 On Thursday we went over to the Mill canyon dinosaur trail after a 4-wheel truck ride.  This is a group picture just after the little walk.  L-R:  Nate and Brooks, Nancy, Eric, Krista, Amanda, Xander, Grandma, Evie, Kasen, Grandpa, Jason, Camille, Taylor, Luke, Weston, Hailee, Ava, Mason, Hazel, Scott, Paige, Me, Camber, Alyssa, Garet, Terra.  Melissa was feeding baby Ruby in the truck.

 The next part of the trek was driving on a super rough road to Uranium Arch.  It is pretty cool.

 Uncle Scott and Grandpa (brothers....can you tell)

 Grandpa was nice to give the kids a lift back to the trucks:)  Now that's a load.

 I think these were called determination towers.

 Can you spot Mason?

 We took a drive out to Dead Horse Point.  It is more impressive than I remember it.  It's kind of like a mini grand canyon.

 More of the kids... Luke, Mason, Taylor, Hailee, Paige, Camille, Alyssa, Camber, Evie, Garet, Dallin

 This is my favorite view, with the river down below.

 We opened presents and had carrot dutch oven cake on Friday, but I don't have any pictures.  Paige got this little flash light unicorn 

 and this darling skirt that Serena made.  Everyone at church just about died when they saw her skirt.

 She fell asleep on the way home from church.  Tired girl.

Pretty fun birthday if you ask me:)
