Moab- Memorial Weekend





Once again this year we went to Moab for Memorial weekend. This year everybody took their kids. Izzy and Cam had a lot of fun playing with their cousins and friends.

As usual, there's so much to do in Moab. It's hard to fit everything we want to do.

It was very hot there this year. Last year we got rained on and the temperature was only in the 70's. This year, it was 95F on Friday! Super hot.

So, not really thinking, Amos, Cody, and I decided to go for a jog on Friday, while the kids rode their bikes. It was insanely hot! It's hard to run through rocks and sand...add the high temperature and you have a miserable run!

After our run we decided to go to town. Of course we had to go to the winery and brewery. That is always a fun part of the trip. The kids liked going into the shops and looking/ buying some of the local crafts.


On Saturday we went river rafting. And that turned out to be a disaster! Cam and Izzy both don't want to go again for a long time. Next year we may have to figure out something different to do.







On Sunday we rode Slick Rock...well I should say, Amos, Rusty, and Cody rode the trail. The other girls and I rode the practice loop. It was fun! After what had happened on Saturday I was really "chicken". I had to take slow. Amos and I both looked at each other and promised to do it without any injuries.



After our ride we went on a short hike. It was sooo busy! It took us to a little water fall. The kids had a lot of fun crossing the water creek. It was so hot that it did feel nice to get wet!







Overall it was a great trip! Can't wait until next year!
