Climbing trip

UEA quickly became one of my favorite weekends so far of this year. Luke and I decided to take full advantage of the few days he got off of school and head down to Moab with some good friends of ours. Luckily, they happened to be climbers and adventurers, so I don't think I need any additional introduction as to how we spent the weekend...

First we hit up some boulders on the day we arrived. Bouldering is definitely hard to master, but it was fun to have something to work at and to warm up our hands and legs for the next days full day of climbing.


We stayed at an awesome campground right in town...However we may be the only ones that thought that being that we were the only group with wee ones that cried a lot during the first night. Lucky for us, the people around us were awesome as well and we heard zero complaints.


Day 2: Climbing on Wall Street.

Our kids did so well just hanging out in or by the side of our cars. Honestly, I was a little worried, but I think they had just as much fun eating all the treats they wanted, peeing on rocks and being able to pretty much do whatever they wanted as long as they stayed away from the road. Awesome I tell you.


We finished off the trip by going on a hike for the kids where we saw petroglyphs and dinosaur prints. The kids loved it and we loved that it was free, easy, and actually pretty cool.

We also hit up our favorite t-shirt shop ever! Where we ended up leaving with 7 shirts total...yikes. We discovered the delicious food that is the Moab Brewery, and we loved that the fall weather there was perfect with weekend highs reaching 79 degrees.

Moab, We'll be seeing you soon.

I am glad you had so much fun. You guys deserved a break with each other. Little jealous that the break did not include me though.

And you gotta love that T-shirt shop.
