We made our first ever trip to Moab at the end of April.   We went with some friends we met back in the college days and have stayed in touch with ever since. We rented a condo and took the 4-wheelers and hiked, rode, ate, and played.


We went down the the Hole in the Rock where they built a house right into the cliff. They had a small zoo so we took the kids in there. They fed the camel carrots. and fed grain and cheerios to some of the other animals.

Ready for our first ride up to Gemini Bridges.

The Gemini Bridges. Hard to make pictures do them any justice but they were really deep holes we are looking down at.

The next day we hiked into Arches.

The Scenery was beautiful

Haylee and her friend Bryson had a thing all weekend about climbing in tight spaces and having us take pictures.
 

Ryker's "wizard". He REALLY wanted us to catch it so he could take it home with him.
We asked him where he would keep it and he said "right by me in the cup holder"

My boys

On the hike up to the delicate arch. Haylee made a contribution to a rock pile.

Delicate Arch

You have to actually see people under the arch to get the full perspective.
