Camping at Green River

We celebrated Jaiden's birthday while camping. It is hard to light candles in the wind hence the paper plate guards.
(Thanks for the help Rich)


Nana, Madison and Pa relaxing at camp.

The first day we headed into Moab and hit the trails. I tied Madison to me for a seat belt, Carter rode with Daddy and Jaiden drove Keith (family friend) around or at least she thought.

Sexy shades and hat Madison.

Cool Dude!

I am in control here!

Handsome dudes!


Is it child abuse to strap a 1 year old to your waist with a tie down rope?


The race is on.



We stopped over the ridge for lunch.



After FINALLY reaching the end of the trail we turned around to head back.



Madison did great on the ride but after 6+ hours she was wasted and gave up on the last stretch.


When everyone started pulling off their glasses we couldn't believe the dirt. Can you imagine how much ended up in our lungs? I think we should invest in motorcycle helmets - what do you think?


The second day we headed into Goblin Valley. For those of you who have not been there it is on your way to Lake Powell but it is roasting in the summer. It is a full valley full of cut out rocks that look like "goblins". We used to go there as kids and play hide and seek. We loved it and now are passing the tradition onto our kids. They love to play there. We usually stay until dark and play hide and seek but the weather was too cold. Maybe next year.
