MOAB- March 20-22, 2010

So John turned the big 35 in March. He wanted a trip out of town. We didn't know where we were going. Some ideas- Disneyland, the west coast, Vegas, Lava Hot Springs, Jackson Hole. We decided on Moab. I have never been there before. All I could think of was dirt. I hate dirt esp sand between toes and fingers, not to mention all the dirt and sand in the clothes- laundry nightmare. So I packed the best I could and off we went Saturday around 3. We got to Green River to spend the night. It was nice. We arrived after sunset so we didn't get a view of the area til the next morning. WOW- I have never been more impressed with a dirty place in my life. WE had such a fun weekend get away. We stayed til Monday. We would have stayed longer but we were expecting a visit from Grandpa Gordon and Grandma Jeanne on Tuesday. The kids loved hiking, and swimming and mom and dad loved the time together as a family with limited screaming, and we got to play in some of the greatest nature out there.

What a great weekend get away.............we cant wait to go back again real soon, before the weather gets too hot.

.........so on a side note, went for the follow-up with the Orthopedist and both kids are healing really well. Coul has a little limp, but it is getting better ever day. Kenna's shoulder has a calcium lump that will go away with time but she is healed too. We are so grateful to have happy and healthy kids. If you ever need a bone fixed, I know the best Dr in town.
