MOAB

We had so much fun in Moab this past weekend. Most of my siblings all went and so it was really fun for the cousins to play. We had 11 boys under the age of 11 and 2 girls both 5 years old. That is a lot of boys, and a lot of fun for them to all play! It was really cold at night. I think the low for the two nights was about 34 degrees. The kids slept remarkably well, they did not wake up once. I woke up about every hour to make sure that the kids were covered because I was worried that they would get cold, but they slept a lot better than I did! It was also really cold in the morning, I think that most of the kids ended up in the cars to get warm. The hiking weather was perfect though. I much prefer 55 degrees to 80 degrees for hiking. We went into Arches National park and did a bunch of mini hikes through out the day. It was a blast! The highlight of Arches was the sand for the kids. Tori laid down in the sand and said; "This is Heaven". Caden buried himself so well that a guy stepped on his neck! The guy felt so bad that he told Caden he would lay his son down in the sand and Caden could step on him! Scott tried really hard to build a sand house; not quite sure how that ended up?
