I can't believe it took Kelly and I this long to finally take a trip to Moab with the fam! It was actually good that we waited until the kids were at this age range because they really ate it up! What a spectacular place! I think I sounded like a broken record throughout the entire trip with my ooohs and ahhhhs! Here are the highlights:
- Rodeo. Cowboys, country music, Circ Du Sole girls doing tricks on horses back, Smokey the Bear.
- Staying in a wonderful town homes that was perfect for our family!
- Eating at Zax Pizza and wraps/smoothies at Peace Tree.
- Canyonlands-Mesa Arch!!!!! AMAZING! (there I go again) Kelly & Bailey walked over the arch and I almost had a heart attack!
- Horse back riding with Bailey in gorgeous area and seeing Castle Rock in the distance!
- Movie Museum at Red Cliffs Lodge-all movies, commercials, videos filmed in Moab area!
- ARCHES! Delicate Arch, even though Jenna hated that hike! Garden of Eden, Parade of Elephants, Devil's Garden, Balanced Rock...
- Meeting up with the Werslands!!!
- Kelly and boys loved their night river run, dutch oven cooking, light show, history...
- Chasing lizards, pretty cactuses, eating "lemonade berries", watching a big horned sheep bound up the cliff.
- Seeing dinosaur foot prints (Allasaurus), dino scales imprint on rock, petroglyphs galore!!!!!
- Visiting the unique Hole in the Rock 5,000 squ. ft. home built into rock!!!! So COOL!
- 4-wheeling out to Dead Horse Point.
- THE ROCK SHOP!!!!!!! My kids love rocks, stones, fossils!!!! We went 3 times! I don't want to know how much we spent there!
We need to go back! There is so much to see and do! I really want to see Zions and Bryce too! It was an unforgettable trip! We all LOVED it! So. UT is gorgeous!

So glad you had a fun trip. We love Moab too! The great thing is that you can go back again and again...
Moab looks fab! (ha ha) Looks like fun. You probably had cooler weather than we're going to have in July. Great pictures as always!
It makes me want to go back. Today!
Looks like fun!! You appreciated a RODEO?!! j/k. I haven't been there. We'll have to go in a few years. So glad you have had some fun family events already this year!!!!
Love your pictures. We loved Moab, too. And I don't know why I had never been in my entire life until this year. We will definitely be going back. The rodeo brings back memories. My dad used to be a bull rider when I was a kid. I haven't been to one in ages.

Beautiful Heather! I have been trying to get to Moab for several years. Still haven't made it. Maybe this Fall! Love the photo of all 4 of your kids together!
Wow Heather! Your pictures are beautiful! If you have a sec, remind me the name of the photographer you took the class from. How's the house selling going? Pretty slow over here :)
