Why, Moab of course! We went with some friends. We loaded up the RVs, hitched up the rhinos, and we were off! We found some great trails. We started on Fins N Things, then went to Hell's Revenge.
There were some amazing trails, and some amazingly-scary precipices that we scaled. It was stressful, but such a rush! Sometimes I think we were willing the rhino up over the top by sheer will. And a lot of screaming.
Randall went up first, then Thunder did. They each let out the rope on the winch just in case, but they both did great.
The kids had a grand old time hiking around and getting dirty.
On Friday morning, Sunshine opened a few presents, and then we were off to the trails again.
I drove for a while. But after the kids kept screaming "let Dad drive!" I decided that I had had enough fun for one day. It was pretty stressful driving, knowing that I could kill my entire family with one wrong turn. But hey, we're still alive!
Little boys throwing rocks...
... and big boys throwing rocks.
The family picture!
For lunch time entertainment, we went back to Devil's Gate and watched other people attempt to make it up.
There was a whole group of cars. One got stuck, but no one flipped.
Later that night we went to Zax Pizza for Sunshine's birthday dinner. Good stuff, that Zax pizza.
We were able to meet up with some friends. The Morrise's, who live in our neighborhood (and I somehow forgot to photograph) were camping in Arches, and also my old friend Lynette from high school, who happened to be in town.
This is the big bday cake I made before we went down. Thank goodness it survived the trip.
Since all of our family lives far away, Sunshine got lots of phone calls. Here he is talking to Nana and Papa.
We ended our trip by playing at the same park we played at 2 years ago, but they moved it! All of the equipment was there, but it was totally rearranged and moved. It was like playing in the twilight zone. But a great end to a great trip!
