So we went to Moab for Spring Break a month and a half ago but since I'm behind on everything by at least a month and a half, it's time for me to write about it. Here are the best parts of the trip:
The trip started typically. Dave instructed the kids to all go to the bathroom before they got in the van to leave the house: "I don't care if you have to go or not, you have to go before you get in the van!" So we pulled out of the driveway and headed about a mile away to the gas station and before we got there, Anne had to go to the bathroom! Awesome!
We found a pretty cool lizard after it warmed up enough for the lizards to venture out. (The first morning was really cold, see first picture. One older guy passed Lilly and admired her Daisy Duke shorts and said, "Here I am in long underwear and she's marching around in shorts!") The kids were all excited about the lizard and they scrambled around on the rocks to watch it for awhile. Finally, Isaac got impatient because it was keeping us from starting our hike: "Come on you guys! We're spending too much time on him! It's not like he's Jesus or something." Our hike commenced immediately.
Lilly looked amazingly similar to how she looked in Oregon:
And Will looked amazingly like his dad:
And the arches and 70-degree weather and the thousands of friendly Mormon families and the crystal blue skies and the bacon and eggs for breakfast in the hotel lobby and the fact that we took only books and no movies and the kids survived and even got along and just that it was a really perfect trip were good things too.
