Moab!

Before having kids, Cal and I frequented Moab.  Surprisingly, this was our first time taking the boys.  Calvin and Calli joined us for a fun Spring Break trip there for a few days.  We got there Wednesday night so the fun started on Thursday.  It was so good to go back!  I had almost forgotten how much I love it there...

 

We spent almost all of our time in Arches National Park.  Our first hike was to Delicate Arch.  The boys did great, Austin got carried a good amount, but was happy and walked quite a bit too.  Zach did great and that day we went about 4.5 miles in all!

It was PERFECT weather while we were there.  Mid 70's and beautiful!  Doesn't get much better than that for Moab!

 

As we expected, Zach loved to explore and run around on the slickrock.

Delicate Arch!

 

 

Sand Dune Arch was a big hit with the boys.  Short hike, lots of sand!

 Ah, digging.

 

 

I explored a bit and found this awesome tree.

 

 

 

The yucca plants were peeling and I loved how it looked.

 

 

 

Sand angels.

 

 

 

Zach really loved to climb on the rocks!  We had to watch him closely because he wasn't particularly cautious and wouldn't get someone to spot him.  But he was good at climbing!

 Grandad joined him.

 

Next we went to Double Arch.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Oz was at the end of his tolerance by this point so we called it a day and headed back to the house.
