Moab- Memorial Weekend

For Memorial weekend, my family headed out to Moab for some fourwheeling and camping. We had two trailers and one BIG tent. We ate, played in dirt, played games and hiked...and I think we slept somewhere in there, however I am not quite sure:)
Friday night we got there and went on a short ride and played games.
Saturday we went on a long ride and went into "Hey Joe" Mine...it was quite the adventure climbing in and out...you basically had to scoot on your stomach!

And here is a picture inside the mine...Only my parents, Carly, Brian and I went on this ride, it was too long for the kids.

It was huge inside...really dark and back in the mine divided into three tunnels! CRAZY!
On the ride home, I got a little heat sick, and barfed up starbursts on the side of the trail...bummer. After a ton of water, rest and gatorade...I was feeling like brand new that night.
Sunday we headed over to Arches National Park and hiked to the delicate arch (the one on the utah license plates)....it was quite warm, but had a great time!

Everyone including the children came....Koda loves her new little backpack:)

We think we are so hot!

Here is the family picture:) I swear my mom is in there...she is just hiding in the back:)

Meet Kaleb...my little 3 month old nephew....isn't he a doll?? I love this little kid!

This is Koda....she is my little buddy. I love living right next to these kiddos...we have SOOO much fun! (She just cooled off with a refreshing Capri Sun)

I seriously love this girl!!! She loved playing in the rocks and fourwheeling...my kinda woman:)

Where is dad??

We all voted that this was the cutest little wedgie anyone had ever seen:) PS....don't you love my hair. Fantastic!

Koda LOVES fourwheeling....and couldn't get enough of it. She went on a special ride with grandpa and grandma...and totally fell asleep...grandpa had to hold her head up the whole ride back. AND...incase you were worried, she was wearing a helmet, it just wasn't working with the camera:)

Here was our little home. Landon and MaLese slept in the trailer with the babies, mom/dad and carly slept in the toy hauler and Katie/Cory, Bri and I slept in the Castle on the rocks (tent). We had a great site, with hardly any bugs....seriously, we saw like three!! It was great!

Here is Katie and Cory....don't ask. We didn't, we just took pictures:)

Helmet Heads....I felt like a mario kart racer:)

Monday we went on another family ride and then while the rest of the family headed home, Brian and I headed off to Canyonlands for a little site seeing....


We had such a great weekend! Thanks Mom and Dad!

By the way...I am going to try and be better at blogging...I have been getting in trouble by alot of you:) I honestly don't even have a good excuse anymore:)
