Moab Trip

Who the heck knows what happened here!
Josh and I went to Moab Utah with out the kids for 5 days and it was glorious. We hiked around fiery furnace and it was amazing. We played and played and played. It was so much fun and we can't wait to go again.
Here we are scaling the walls of rock in fiery furnace. There were no trails and so we had to crawl, climb, scoot, slide, jump and all other manner of fun.





We went horse back riding in the mountains. That was a lot of fun!

We haven't been horse back riding since we started dating, so it was a really fun memory

Of course we couldn't go to Moab with out going off roading



We drove up the mountain to this place called double bridges. It was quite the off roading trail but it was beautiful and fun to walk around on!

We hiked up to one of over 2000 arches in Arches National Park. This one is called delicate arch

When we got there, we saw all these people camped out with their crazy camera stuff and they yelled at anyone who go close to the arch as it got closer to sunset. It was quite funny!

You can see how huge it is

A national geographic photographer took this picture for us.

This one is called balancing rock

We also went biking and white water rafter. We loved every min of it. Well almost every min. I didn't love the mountain biking but Josh went several times and had a total blast. I'm sure glad that he loves it! It was beautiful and amazing and so good to be with just him.

Great pictures. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Ry grew up in Moab. He'll love this post! Whenever we are watching tv he always comments on different commercials that it was filmed in Moab. "hey, thats moab, i used to ride my bike as a kid right there!" Everything is filmed in Moab to him! So funny!
