So over the holiday weekend we went down to moab. James and the older boys went down 2 years ago and had fun so we decided to go again. Well we ended up leaving late then the traffic was bad,it was like 2 1/2 hrs just to spanish fork canyon, we stopped to eat. Then James remember we didn't have the keys to the jeep, we borrowed a truck from work and towed the jeep so we didn't need the keys to drive. So we had to drive all the way back to around the point of the mountain where keelee and the girls meet us with the keys, thanks Keelee. SO by the time we started through the canyon it was 9. Well it was another 5 hr drive. I said james when we get there where are we going to sleep, he said out side, I said WHAT. he said what is wrong with sleeping out side, I said bugs, animals, people seeing you, etc. So I said you have to set up the tent aleast for me. then while driving I looked at the sky and said, what if it is raining. He said it never rains there. So we get closier and stop for a potty break and it is down pouring, he said it wont be raining there. We get there at 2:30 am and it is raining, and mud. WE wake up the kids and say lets go to sleep. Logan slept on the back seat, brittin in one of the feet spots in the back seat, Kolbryn in my foot spot in the front seat, I laid on the front seat, or I felt on the seat belt, and James laid his seat back and he and Brecken laid on his seat, then brecken came and laid with me, see how I said laid, not slept. Well by 6:30 we were up. Everyone in the camp looking at us and laughing,we were like a clown car, where people keep coming out. We got the tent up with some help of the other campers watching our kids. THen they fixed us breakfast and we packed our lunch and hopped in the jeeps. Brittin and Logan went with another family so we could all fit. It was really fun. I sat white knuckled and telling james to stop following so close, James drove as fast as he could, trying to spray people with mud. While Brittin and Logan were with a family that had squirt guns trying to get everyone wet. So our family was well liked. no annoying by any means. Well we saw lots of Indian ruins and high places. It was really nice when we were jeeping but when we were back at camp the kids wanted to climb all those rocks, well the 3 big guys could do it but Brecken needed someone following him, so that was hard. Then on Sunday we did a little devotional and got on our way, this is when James got stuck. Out of the whole caravan we were the only ones who needed help. James got his tow rope out and hooked it onto a jeep and it snapped, so then all the men made fun of him again and they had to get another one and drags us out. And we saw some more cites and they fed us a wonderful dinner and breakfast and then we started to head out and found our Truck's battery was drained so we needed help again. We went and saw some arches and headed home with no big problems after that. It was a fun family trip but I was really glad it was over, except for the clean up. THere was red mud every where.
