Spring Break in Moab

We went to Moab over the Spring Break to do some hiking. Usually we go at this time to do the Jeep Safari but we couldn't take the Jeep and the trailer, so we didn't do the Jeep trails this year. We definitely missed doing the Jeep trails, so we'll have to go back! We did enjoy the hiking though! I have never been to the Arches, and that was really fun. I loved that it was very kid friendly, and there were lots of little hikes that the kids could do.

Carter looking for lizards...







Hailey found a cute little friend while we were watching someone try to get their Jeep up "Potato Salad Hill". She was from Australia and had the cutest little accent!



We passed this cool park and had to check it out. There was tons of musical instruments to play, it was awesome!

Trying with all their might to make the crack bigger :)



This is at Sand Dunes Arch. You can't tell from the picture, but Bryan and Carter are standing on top of an arch.



The kids had a blast climbing on the rocks and I was surprised how well Hailey did. I had to keep telling her to stop because she had no fear!



Just as you're coming into Moab there is this HUGE sand hill of the side of the road. There are always kids playing on it, so we went to check it out. The sand is super soft so it's fun to take off your shoes and climb. There were kids rolling down the hill, jumping, and even a girl with a saucer! It was really fun and will definitely be somewhere we'll stop every time we go down there.



The whole time in Moab Carter's #1 concern was catching rabbits and lizards. Wherever we went he would ask "Is there lizards and rabbits there?" The second evening that we were there, Carter was hanging around the trailer looking for lizards. Me, Bry, and Hailey were in the trailer. All of the sudden we heard Carter yelling at the top of his lungs "I got one!!!!! I got one!!!" I'm sure the whole campground got a kick out of it, because he was SOOOOOO excited to catch a lizard! He played with it for a couple hours and then let it go.

On the other hand, Hailey's #1 concern was when she would get chocolate milk. She would keep asking when we would be getting to the trailer so she could have some, funny girl!
