Moab

Recently we went to Moab and had a lot of fun. On the way down there Davey learned a little more about himself. He thought Uncle Rustin was the smartest guy on the planet until he discovered that Rustin thinks dirt is amazing. Davey even said that he used to think Rustin was very smart until he liked dirt and went on to say that he is probably fascinated with poop as well. Davey says the most random things and sometimes can blow you away with them. Well back to the trip, as soon as we hit the San Rafuel Valley (Don't know how to spell that) and he saw the plateu's and red dirt he was amazed. He wasn't saying a whole lot so I asked him what he thought, he said he was speechless, not understanding fully why I asked him what he meant and he said that he felt bad for thinking Rustin was dumb and that now he too thinks dirt is pretty cool.
After getting there and getting the hotel we went and saw the Arches and let the kids swim. It was crazy to be swimming outside in 50 degree weather but it was pretty warm and the kids had a blast. The next day we went on a bike ride at Dead Horse Point 4.4 miles and Davey and Keili rode it all, I was so proud of them. Keili even fell in the thick sand and kept on going wow that girl is tough.
On our last day there Dave got to ride Slick Rock. He was so excited. Dave loves mountain biking and has a very nice, very expensive bike, people always ask him when they find out about his hobby if he has ridden Slick Rock and hated saying no. This is the trail (somewhere) it was a lot of up and down. We dropped him off in the morning for the 10 mile ride on the petrified dunes and this is what he looked like when we got him. He never ceases to amaze me.

Well it was a pretty fun trip and I think besides complaining about not being able to stay in the hotel pool all day and night the kids loved it too. We had a lot of fun and a lot of sun.
