Moab

For Spring Break for UVU we got the chance to go to Moab with some of our great friends the Brandons and the Davies!  It was a ton of fun.  I had never been before so it was fun to see all of red rock and scenery.  Our only downfall was the weather was not the greatest.  When it said "windy" on the forecast we had no idea it would be WINDY, like,  up to 65 miles per hour kind of winds.  It really wasn't too cold and it didn't rain until we were on our way home.  But wind and sand from the desert do not make a good combo. :)  Esspecially when you are trying to cook outside.  It reminded me of the sand storms you get in Lake Powell, except it was all day long.  And the house trailer we slept in felt like it was giong to blow over at night, so we didn't sleep very well.  And poor Dustin and Becca Davies attempted the tent for one night but then got smart the next night and slept in a motel. :) But it was fun to spend with good friends and there was a ton of stuff to see! Here are some pics:

Chance's sister Summer let us borrow this backpack.  It was so nice to have! Emma for the most part enjoyed it until she had been it in a while and then she wanted out.  But she was a good sport through the whole trip.

The first day we went and saw the delicate arch.  It was pretty cool.  It was the nicest day by far it was pretty hot so the wind felt good. :)

This is us and the Brandons, some kind soul took a picture of all of us.

We went down and stood under the arch...

The second day we went to this place, called Dead Horse Point. I believe they call it Dead Horse Point because they use to herd these horses to the top of this place.  I guess some of them got really thirsty and saw the water at the bottom and jumped to go get it, at least that is what I understood from it. Its only half as deep as the Grand Canyon, but it was still so pretty and cool to see.

Emma wanted to pose for the camera too...

We took a break for lunch in the truck cuz it was so windy outside.  Dustin and Becca joined us for this day, and that is there little boy Porter, who apparently is Emma's boyfriend.  As soon as he sat down by him she grabbed his hand.  She didn't waste any time. :)

We went on a hike that afternoon to see the Landscape Arch, and Emma could not resist again, so cute. If they get married this will be on their wedding video. :)

This is the Landscape Arch, it was pretty cool to see and it was a really pretty hike.

 Emma loved the sand and loved when she could roam free.

Back at camp before the wind got too bad Emma was able to play with some sand toys, thanks Dustin and Becca for bringing them!
