Moab - May 2-4, 2008
We met Michelle, Nate and cute baby Avery in Moab. We spent every day hiking.
I felt like I was doing pretty well until we hiked Delicate Arch and I had a hard time keeping up with everyone else. I don't mind walking, but it is uphill that kills me.
Both Mackenzie and Brittany wanted to walk along side Michelle and have her undivided attention. The weather was perfect and the company great. Mackenzie signed up to be a junior ranger. She had to watch a film on the park, collect any trash that she saw, and complete activities out of a workbook. Every time someone walked off the beaten path, she told them that they were ruining the soil and to get back on the trail. At the end of the trip, she got a badge from one of the rangers. The view from Dead Horse Point was spectacular. We must be getting old - at night after dinner, we just sat around watching t.v. and going to bed at a decent hour! It took awhile to figure out a place to eat for dinner on Saturday night. We went to a restaurant that served Brittany and Rich calzones that barely fit on the plate!
Mackenzie was so cute with Avery. She loved to hold her and make her laugh. On Sunday,Rich, Mackenzie, and I drove around town and saw petroglyphs. They were pretty amazing.
It was such a nice trip and take time to be with family.
