Moab 2010

Every spring we go with Brett's whole family (all 30 something of us) to Moab. We stay in one big house. And let me tell you, each year, that house seems smaller and smaller!!!! But, we have so much fun. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful 'in-law' side of the family!

Ella, Kiki and McKay in Goblin Valley. I think Kiki and McKay look more like twins than Makenna and McKay do.

An awesome view on the way to "Double O" Arch. This was the first time we'd done this hike. It was a little strenuous, but well worth it!

Kiki was my hiking partner. I had tons of fun chatting it up with this girl. We pretended we were spies the whole time. What a trooper.

We finally made it! Check out that double arch!!! Pretty amazing!

I love this arch. It is my favorite.

This is an actual hand cart made by Studebaker. It was at a trinket shop.

This is the first year, of all the years we've been to Moab (we go the same weekend every year) that there has been snow in the park. That is attributed to the very long, cold winter, and a very wet spring. Mickey is 'eating' snow encrusted in the reddish/brown sand. He thought it looked like a s'more.

Mick and Ken seeing how far back they could squeeze!

Mick's carseat must be really comfy.........He has made this sleeping face since the first day he was born! What a cutie! Love this boy!

Thank you family for the wonderful trip! We love you all!

What a fun trip! We can't wait to someday take our kids on the same hikes. I can't believe there was still snow!
