Moab

We had a wonderful Spring Break in Moab, Utah with our kids last week. My brother, Mike, and his wife, Shannon, recently moved to Moab, so we were really excited to see the great scenery and visit with some of our favorite people.
The kids had a great time hiking, swimming, and especially chasing Mike and Shannon's dog, Oliver.
This first picture is of Double Arch. It is famous for being in an Indiana Jones movie. Our kids LOVED this arch. It was a very short walk. Brayden hated the walk, but loved scampering around on the rocks. He giggled the entire time. Spencer and the girls all did great! They were real troopers. And great rock climbers!

This next picture is of Delicate Arch. It is the arch pictured on the Utah state license plates.

This is a really beautiful tree that we passed on our hike to Landscape Arch.

And this is Landscape Arch. It would span a football field. Wow! That's big!! This hike really wore out our younger kids. I'm glad we did it. The view was really worth it. Andraia met many friendly people on her hike. She showed everyone her 'baby' rocks that she was collecting. She can't wait to take her collection to school for show and tell.

And these are our tired girls on the way home. Peaceful and sleeping. Everyone did really great in the car this time. Its about a 3 hour drive one way. Not even close to the long drive to California, but it does give me hope for a smoother trip to Disney in July!
