LAST WEEK WE WENT TO MOAB WITH THE WHITNEY FAMILY. WE HAD QUITE THE ADVENTURE JUST FINDING A PLACE TO CALL HOME FOR THE NEXT 4 DAYS. EVERYWHERE WE WENT THERE WERE NO AVAILABLE CAMPSITES. WE DROVE AROUND FOR 4 HOURS , COUNTLESS CAMPGROUNDS , AND TIRED KIDS. AS FOR THE HUBBIES , LETS SAY THEY WERE NOT SO PLEASANT. LONG STORY SHORT WE FOUND AN OPEN FIELD AT 2AM AND DECIDED TO CALL IT HOME. WE SET UP CAMP AND MADE IT TO BED CLOSE TO 3AM. SO TIRED AND STRESSED OUT! SO THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT FOR A WALK AND SAW THIS TINY LITTLE SIGN THAT TOLD US THE FIELD WAS RESERVED FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND. SO WE LOADED UP EVERYTHING , YES TOTAL REDNECKS , WHITNEYS TENT ON THE TRAILER , AND FOUND US A ANOTHER SPOT.
THE WEATHER WAS SO PERFECT... MID 80S. WE LOVED IT! WE WENT ON MANY TRAILS. THE FIRST TRAIL WAS ACTUALLY QUITE EASY AND WE CAME UPON AN OLD HOUSE THAT WAS WAY COOL.
ZACH TOOK HIS BB GUN WITH HIM AND WAS "HUNTING" LIZARDS. I KNOW THIS IS SUCH A PLEASANT PICUTRE OF A DEAD LIZARD BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE OF ME TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. THIS IS WHAT ME AND KYLEE HAD TO LOOK AT ALL WEEKEND LONG. THE KIDS GO OUT WITH ZACH AND THEN THEY WOULD BRING BACK THESE DEAD LIZARDS TO SHOW ME AND KYLEE. 
THE SCENERY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE ROCK FORMATIONS WERE JUST SO PRETTY AND UNIQUE.
THIS ROCK LOOKED LIKE A MUSHROOM THAT WAS TIPPING OVER. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL! THERE WERE MANY ROCKS THAT HAD PICTOGLIFFS ON THEM. THE KIDS HAD FUN TRYING TO TELL US THE STORY BEHIND THE PICTURES!
HERE IS A PICTURE JEFF , KLINT , AND JAXON DURING THE FIRST DAY AT MOAB. WHAT A GREAT TIME WE WERE HAVING!! I THINK JEFF AND KLINT WERE LIKE IN MAN HEAVEN. REALLY , THEY WOULD CLIMB SOME ROCK THEN HAVE TO STOP AND TALK MAN TALK WITH A BEER IN HAND. LOL.... 
BY THE SECOND DAY WE WERE ALL READY FOR SOME TRAILS THAT WERE A LITTLE HARDER! SO WE PACKED A LUNCH AND HEADED OUT...
THE SUN WAS PRETTY WARM THIS DAY AND THE TRAIL WAS DEFINATLEY HARDER. YA KNOW WE THOUGHT THE RHINO AND RANGER MACHINES WERE THE BOMB! BUT WE WERE PROVEN WRONG! WE STOPPED TO LET THE KIDS GET OUT AND DO SOME ROCK CLIMBING AND THESE 3 LIFTED JEEPS CAME DOWN THE TRAIL. THESE JEEPS CLIMBED THESE 6 FOOT ROCKS LIKE THEY WERE PEBBLES.! IT WAS SO COOL TO WATCH!!THE YOUNGER KIDS FOLLOWED ZACH AROUND ALL DAY LONG. HE TOOK THEM ON HIKING ADVENTURES , "HUNTING FOR LIZARDS" , ROCK COLLECTING , SWORD FIGHTS, BIKE RIDING , AND , PLAYED IN THE DIRT WITH THEM.
ZACH WAS SUCH A GREAT HELP WITH THE KIDS AND I THINK HE HAD FUN WITH THEM AS WELL. HE TOOK RIDGE ON A LIAZRD HUNT AND THIS IS WHAT RIDGE CAME BACK WITH....YA GROSS HUH!? BUT RIDGE WAS SO PROUD OF THE LIAZRD!
ON SUNDAY WE DECIDED TO HEAD UP TO "POISON SPIDER" TRAIL. I BELIEVE IT HAD A RATING OF 6 OUT OF 7. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THIS TRAIL.I HAVE THIS FEAR OF BEING ON THE EDGE OF ROADS AND THIS TRAIL HAS MANY AREAS THAT ARE LIKE THIS.. OKAY I WAS FREAKING OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES.!! JEFF THINKS ITS FUNNY SO HE , OF COURSE, HAS TO DRIVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE EDGE....JERK!...LOL.. OKAY I TRIED TO FIX THE SLIDE SHOW BUT IT WONT LET ME. SORRY...
OUR EVENINGS BACK AT CAMP WERE PRETTY RELAXED. ME AND KYLEE MADE SOME AWESOME DINNERS AT MOAB! WE ALSO HAD SOME YUMMY STRAWBEERY SMORES!!!! WE HAD FUN WITH THE KIDS AROUND THE CAMP FIRE PLAYING MEMORY GAMES.
WE REALLY HAD SUCH A FUN TIME AT MOAB AND HANGING OUT WITH THE WHITNEY FAMILY. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE ADVENTURES AT MOAB THAT I DEFINATELY FEEL THAT WE WILL BE GOING BACK IN THE FALL. THANKS WHITNEYS FOR A GREAT WEEKEND FULL OF MEMORIES AND GREAT TIMES!!!
