Gotta love the little slot canyons *
Moab did not disappoint. It never does. Even if the campground in town is more of a horse corral than a nice place to hang out. Even if the cotton trees produce snow storm after snow storm. And even if our dear friends leave after only a few precious hours together. Moab still rocks!
More on the race later on the other blog. After one day of packing, one day of driving, and one day of racing/recovering, it was time for some adventuring. So off we went to one of our favorite places - Arches National Park. We have been there many times and know what the kids love best - Sand Dune Arch. It is simply the best playground ever! A nice little hike into a humongous sandbox, complete with an amazing arch, shade, and rocks to climb. What more can you ask for?
Well, the wind was less than desirable but it sure did not keep us from having fun!
The boys convinced Karl to dig a hole deep enough that they could stand in it. The sand he dug up was cold and wet - very nice in 85 degrees and blazing sun. Noah was having a blast and Max - well, he wanted to get out. Now.
Afterwards we went on a little hike to Skyline Arch and ended up playing on another (much smaller) sandhill for more than an hour. Good times!
* I think that Max is hilarious in the first picture. I mean - check him out! The hair, the hat, his mustache. On our way out, a lady we passed asked: "Did someone have chocolate ice cream?" To which I replied: "No. It is just sunscreen with sand stuck to it." She looked rather disgusted. Too funny.

Kids and messy faces crack me up! Love it!
I never knew Moab could be so fun... at least in the spring.
So funny that 85 degrees is blazing hot :-)
Love the pictures.
Sunscreen and sand more disgusting than chocolate ice-cream? People are funny. I'm glad you guys had a blast. I really do wish we could have played in all that sand too.
