Moab 2013

Over Thanksgiving Break we went to Moab with Michelle and Marti's family. We have never been on a family vacation besides Bear Lake this summer. We rented a car and stayed in a hotel for two nights. Super fun. The first day, we Drove to Moab, got our tree permit, THEN went on a super fun hike to Delicate Arch. Marti and I parked the cars, and the rest of them hiked up the hill. We got some great pics. I don't have any yet, because Marti had to hang back with me to get me up the hill to the top. It was Great! Jack and Nick did great and I finally got there. Thanks to Marti. We hiked up at dusk and it was kindof chilly. SOO fun. Then we went and ate at Pizza Hut.

Day two, we got up and started on our jaunt to get our Christmas tree. We drove about an hour and then dropped off my rental car beause it wouldn't make it up the hill anymore and we all climbed in with Marti. We kept going to the top and finally got out and hiked around to find our tree. It was a beautiful day. We found a couple of winners of a tree. Andrew chopped them down along with Mckenna and dragged them to the car. We found a sledding hill after and had some fun sledding.

We came back to the rental car and found it had slid backwards and across the street. SO lucky it didn't slide off the cliff! That would have been hard to explan to the Enterprise rental people. We drove around and saw some petroglyphs for Nick. He is studying Utah in 4th grade so he wanted to see them.

We left the next day. We stopped in one city (can't remember which one) for a potty break and lunch. Some of us wanted blimpie and some wanted burger king. We are getting out of the car and Andrew was getting my purse since he wanted me to pay and he dumped my wallet all over the ground. Receipts, credit adds, rewards cards, and money everywhere! I was a bit irritated but tried to keep my cool...got our lunch then on our way to get gas. Abi was putting in the gas and spilled it all over the car, the ground and all over her shoes! Brooke and couldn't believe them. I have failed to raise them. Andrew says to Brooke " Brooke, the reason you don't do anything stupid is because you never do anything!". Soo funny and true. Laughed all the way home. We had a great trip. Trying to make memories. I hope they realize that!
