Moab Family Trip...

 We left early Thursday morning to get to Moab.  Payton really wanted to hike to the Delicate Arch again and we knew we wouldn't have time to go later so earlier was better.  The weather is so much better in November.  It was about 60 degrees, sunny, with a nice cool breeze.  There were hardly any people around and the kids hiked all 3 miles.











 After our hike we met up with the rest of the family and went to our house where we were staying then went and got the jeeps.  Getting the jeeps was a bit of a hassle.  I'm also pretty sure they never want to see our faces again.  I don't think they had ever had customers who knew anything about jeeps.  Finally after a couple of hours of getting the jeeps fixed and in shape to go we were off.
 Our jeep worked great for us.. Sam unfortunately went through 2 and was finally satisfied with the third.
 Beautiful day...
 The first jeep Sam got was leaning for unknown reasons.  Even after replacing the shock it still leaned to the right.  So they were able to upgrade to a 4 door, which I think we might get next time.
 blurry but cute...
 Now that we had the jeeps all ready to go we hit Fins 'N' Things and Porcupine Rim.




 Sadly before we could finish this happened.  They lost the steering gear box.  So we were down for another few hours.
 Chad and Camie's jeep was a 4 passenger jeep, but at this point they had Camie, Chad, Morgan, Carley, Kevin, Cody and Carson.
Still waiting...
 Killing time...


 Carson fell into a cactus and his clothes and him were covered in cactus needles, this was his attire for the rest of the day.


 Finally we were up and running again.  And the jeeps all worked for us from here on out.


 Carley was freaking out about this climb..




 




 The family on Hells Revenge...








 Spectators at Hells Gate..





 We watched this buggy for a good half hour as he was trying to get out of the hot tub.


I love Morgans face...







Back to Fins 'N' Things.  This time the girls drove the whole thing..

Before leaving we went to dinner and randomly ran into this jolly man.

Connor wouldn't get anywhere near him but Payton told him she wanted a surprise.
We had such a fun time on this little get away.  I wish we could have stayed longer.
