MOTHERS DAY IN MOAB

WE HEADED TO MOAD AGAIN FOR MOTHERS DAY THIS YEAR. THE WEATHER WAS TRYING HARD TO BE NICE BUT THAT DARN "W" ( WIND) WAS MISERABLE! WE STAYED IN THESE DARLING LITTLE ADOBE CABINS THIS YEAR. THEY WORKED OUT PERFECT FOR US!
WE ENJOYED SPENDING OUR VACATION WITH BOTH WHITNEY FAMILIES, THE STANFORDS, AND MAURI AND PHILS FAMILY. ALL THE KIDS PLAYED SO WELL WITH EACHOTHER! THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED HAGING OUT BY THE FIRE...
PLAYING IN THE SAND ON OUR DAILY ADVENTURES.... ZACH AND JAXON HAD A GREAT TIME RIDING THEIR BIKES ON SLICK ROCK!!

LEXIE AND MADDIE HANGING OUT IN THE R & RS ON THE STEELBENDER TRAIL ON THE FIRST DAY...
HERES A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE BOYS AND THEIR TOYS!!!!

WE PACKED OUR LUNCH EVERYDAY AND ATE OUT ON THE TRAILS. WE DID A LOT OF HIKING AND LOOKING FOR LIZARDS. THIS IS A COLLARED LIZARD THAT WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SITTING OUT ONTOP OF A ROCK MAYBE 2 FEET FROM THE TRAIL. I CANT BELIEVE THIS LIZARD DIDNT TAKE OFF WHEN WE STOPPED RIGHT NEXT TO IT. LEXIE NAMED IT AVATAR FOR ALL ITS BEAUTIFUL COLORS...KYLEE AND I HIKING ON STEELEBENDER TRAIL. I LOVE THE SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND.
