Weekend in Moab!

We spent last weekend in wonderfully warm, Moab, Utah. The Carlson's had been planning a trip there with some friends from Colorado for awhile and since we would only be 3 hours away, we decided to take a trip south to get our Carlson fix. We had a blast! And it was SO worth it. It really sucked coming home to 6 inches of snow. SPRING...where are you!






Okay, so I have been to Moab plenty of times. Once for a marathon and a few times as a single college kid with a bunch of friends, but NEVER as a mother of three. It was crazy stressful. Most of the hikes we went on had trails right up against shear cliffs that dropped HUNDREDS of feet. No barriers at all. Just comfortable, safe ground and then...woopsie, a long drop to a terrifying death. Even with Anthony and I both, I had a huge headache at the end of the day from all the stress. But, hey it sure was beautiful!





The Carlson's brought there four wheelers and the kids had a blast with them. Jen took Maya for a ride. I was surprised at how brave she was.


Isn't this picture GORGEOUS....the arch and scenery are pretty beautiful, too :)
Terrible TWOs....I don't think so. Terrible 3's is more like it. We went to down town Moab to eat and walk around and Kai was being such a handful. He was running way ahead of us and darting off. He was stressing me out. Maya would have never wandered away and so this is new for me. SO, Anthony thought it would be a good idea to "keep him close". He asked a clerk at one of the stores if they had a rope or something and so he used it to tie up Kai. Poor kid. But it was SO funny!
