Adventures in Moab

I didn't know whether I should title this post "Adventures In Moab" or "Moab Madness". It was a little of both, but overall good fun and good memories for all! For spring break this year we decided to pull the trailer down to Moab. It was one way to get all of our boys to come on a trip with us since what two boys with jeeps can resist the sand and rocks of Moab?!!

We camped at Dead Horse Point (absolutely breath-taking!) and spent a couple days in Arches. We had fun hiking and the boys had fun climbing on everything they could climb on! It was a bit cold at night, but great hiking weather. We had fun taking pictures of us "holding up" balancing rock and "jumping over" it as well.

That was the adventure part, now for the madness.....JEEPING!!! I will be the first to admit that I am NOT an adrenaline junkie. My heart was pounding the whole time we were on "Baby Lion's Back" and "Fins and Things". Thank goodness we didn't make it to "Hell's Revenge". Who thought this stuff up? And who decided that jeeps were meant to climb straight up and straight down these rocks? What about gravity?!! I will admit that Michael had me in tears once. The rest of the time I sat in near horror as the windshield filled with nothing but sky and then nothing but sand as we went up and down. By the time we were finished my arm ached from gripping the handle above the window. The whole time I am praying, "Please get us out of here safely!!" I love spending time with my boys, but stuff like this makes me long for a girl who would love to scrapbook with me!!
