Moab Family Vacation Continued

This was my favorite arch, a cool arch with some fun rock climbing to get to it. Adventurous but safe for the kids. It was huge!!! Here's Chris and Ethan standing in it.
Here's are the kids in front of Skyline Arch. This was another favorite of mine.
Here is Chris and the kids standing in a cave they climbed up to.
The kids all wanted a turn turning the key to get into the cabin. Sometimes it's suprising how easily entertained the kids can be. We did have a fun action packed weekend. We hiked, climbed, swam, played life sized checkers, tetherball, blew bubbles, played on the playground, threw frisbees and balls, saw many ancient Indian writings, cool dinosaur tracks from an Allosaurus, went to the coolest rock store, and BBQ'd. And a Sparks family vacation wouldn't be complete unless somebody got sick. It was Andrew's turn a few minutes after we left for the drive home. Poor guy. He's ok now, we think he may have gotten heat exhaustion. All in all we had a wonderful time and plan on going again next year.

What a cute little cabin. Is it a friend's or just a vacation rental? I'm glad you guys went down there. So many people who move to the Wasatch Front never go south to see the beauties of Utah. I also recommend Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park for some great hiking and scenery. I'm glad you had such a great weekend. The children will always remember it!

Wow, that actually looks like it was a lot of fun. From what you were saying, you'd think you were planning on going in the boonies in some busted up shack. Looks like it was all nice and cozy.

And honestly. Febreeze!? Did you happen to run out by the time it was finished? Sissy ;)
