Moab

We are back from our spring break trip to Moab. Day one we went 4-wheeling at the White Wash Sand Dunes near Green River. We had fun riding in the soft sand and the kids liked playing in it. The wind kicked up after about 4 hours there so we loaded up and drove to Moab. We did a little swimming at the hotel there and went to dinner. The kids were very good and looked so cute in their helmets and goggles. Day two we hiked Arches National Park. It was extremely windy this day, we dragged the kids on the Delicate arch hike, the wind was knocking us off our feet, even Jared, so we didn't linger. We put the goggles on the kids for the other two hikes. Everyone who passed us said that was a good idea and "we wish we had goggles" because the sand was blowing in everyones faces. We saw the sand dune arch and the landscape arch before the wind and dust drove us back to the hotel. We swam in the wind (heated pool) for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Then out to dinner again, chinese this time! We all loved it. Day three we went 4 wheeling again, very grateful that the wind was no more and the sun was out. We drove along the Colorado river on two trails called Hurrah pass and Chicken Corners. These were very rocky but the scenery was unbelievable. We were on steep cliffs and saw caves and springs and even a desert bush forest. The kids were quite sick of 4 wheeling by the end of this, but Jared and I wanted more. We'll have to go back sometime sans kids and see more of that beautiful country. We drove the kids home in time for dinner. We had a super fun time!
