10 DAY CAMPING TRIP

So...here's the story. We had originally planned on taking a weekend camping trip, coming home for a couple of nights and then leaving again for our annual Moab trip. But, I thought it was such a waste of time to come home and then leave again so soon. So, we merged the 2 trips. I thought I was going to go CRAZY being in the trailer that long and trying to entertain the kids. But we had SOOO much fun and after we left Moab, I told B to not go home. I wanted to keep camping. So, next year we might just try a month of traveling in the trailer! ;)

Ryder on our way to San Rafael:


Kam with her new best friend, Lucky. Our friends came and brought their dog and Kam was in HEAVEN!


Self Portrait:


The fam at The Dutchmen's Arch:

Ryder on Devil's Racetrack in San Rafael. B would want me to point out that Ryder was braver than me. He would go up and down stuff without thinking twice and I would make B drive my fourwheeler on the "scary" parts! LOL The kids thought I was a total baby!!


B and Ry coming off Devil's Racetrack:


The boys going through the tunnel back to camp:


Sunday night our friends left and we camped alone for a couple of nights. We went to Swayse's Cabin:


Ice Box Cave (soo cool):


And we climbed the mountain behind camp:


Ryder and B hiked to the very top and got a pic of me down below:


We left San Rafael and went to Moab. The first day we took the kids into the park and hiked to some arches. Here are the kids in Devil's Garden at Landscape Arch: (we had some sort of theme going on: Devil's Canyon, 5 miles of Hell, Devil's Racetrack, Devil's Garden....weird!)



Ryder at Gemini Bridges:


Kam at Gemini Bridges:


Grandpa Larry playing in Kane Creek with Ryder and Logen:


Kam struttin' her stuff:


We stopped at the HUGE sand hill in Moab and let the kids play. Kam got buried alive:


Ry and Dagen climbed to the top:


Grandpa with the grandkids the 2nd time we went to Gemini Bridges:



Ahhh.....can't wait to go back. We are going to visit San Rafael again. It was SOOO pretty, especially the drive from there to Moab. The scenery was INCREDIBLE!

It was also tons of fun to be able to all ride as a family. Ry has gotten so good on his bike that he takes that out on the trails now. So, him and B bike and Kam and I go on the fourwheeler.

Until next time.....
