Brendan's Birthday -- Moab!!

Last weekend was Brendan's Birthday. I thought it would be fun to plan a camping trip down to Southern Utah for us along with some of Brendan's good friends. Now . .you know how much I love my husband, if I willingly volunteer to plan a camping trip!! :)

We headed off on Friday afternoon, we decided it would be more fun if we all headed down to Moab in the Suburban, that way we could all ride together. Brendan and I were up front. Andrea, Jason and Steve were in the back.

We got to Moab in the early evening. We set up our tents and then started the BBQ. It was so much fun. We played some games that night and told stories around the campfire.

The next day we decided to go hiking in Arches National Park. Our first hike of the day was to Delicate Arch. This is an awesome hike and an awesome sight. It was so neat to hear so many different languages on the trail of the people we were by. If you have never been to Moab, it is definately worth a trip. It is such a unique place to visit and to hike.

Here is a picture of Delicate Arch. You can get some idea of its size, that is Brendan and myself standing underneath it!!

We also decided to hike Devil's Garden, to see the largest Arch in the world, Landscape Arch. On this hike you also get to see Tunnel Arch & Pine Tree Arch. All are amazing.

Here is a picture of Landscape Arch:

That night we went out for pizza and played games. We played Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and the girls, Andrea and myself, kicked the guys trash two out of the three games.

Sunday Morning, we got up and had breakfast and cleaned up camp. On our way home we stopped at Dead Horse Point. It is such an amazing sight to see. Basically like Utah's own Grand Canyon. The picture below is of our group!

My favorite picture of the weekend, the three boys sleeping on the rocks at Moab?? Why did the three of them want a picture of them pretending to be sleeping?? Let's just say, "Boys will be Boys!!"
