A couple of weeks ago, we went on our 2nd annual trip to Moab with the Brown Family. There were sooooo many of us and we had a lot of fun! It was a quick trip, but packed with endless fun. We started on Friday and on our way to Moab, we took a detour to see a dinosaur footprint and some really cool petroglyph's that have been around for a VERY LONG TIME! We stopped by the San Rafael River and had a picnic lunch and I turned around and both Grace and Carson stripped down to their unders and wanted to play in the river.......they were actually pretty much in the river before I could object too loudly and I could not say no after seeing the smiles on their cute faces!!!! Once we arrived in Moab, we checked into our hotel and went swimming with all of the cousins......we decided to let Chloe have her first official swimming experience and she loved every second of it :) After swimming, we went to a park in Green River for a night of good food, fun games and lots of memories to cherish. Saturday morning, we got up and headed to Moab. We took our cute family of 5 and decided to hike Delicate Arch! I was a little worried about Carson, but he was a trooper!!! He hiked about 3/4 of the way up and tripped and hurt his knee.....so uncle Brett was nice enough to carry him on his shoulders the rest of the way up to the arch and most of the way down (thanks Brett!). Chloe was in our backpack on Troy's back and I am pretty sure she kicked her legs and squealed in delight the entire time. Grace was amazing......she did it all by herself and liked to be the "leader" whenever possible. You will see from the pictures how windy it was at the top of Delicate Arch, but it was still beautiful! After our hike, we ate lunch and hung out in the "music park" and headed for home.....thanks Grandma and Grandpa Brown for the memories....we had a blast!

ReplyDeleteI believe that pic of Carson and Troy ought to be entered into some kind of contest for dads and sons or something. I am so proud of how cute and good-looking they are. Can you tell I am a proud Grandmother? Love dthe blog. I love reliving fun times.
