Camping in moab








It was so fun to get away to Moab a couple weekends ago. Although in my mind I was a wee bit nervous, it turned out to be awesome and I can't wait to go back. Next time we know where the good campsites are! The girls loved seeing and climbing on all the rocks at Arches national park. They really did, that place is Amazing. My favorite was the windows, or maybe the rainbow arch, because it was a giant sandbox of red sand. It was all pretty sublime.
The girls had a blast, except for Olivia at about 2 in the morning. She was crazy!! thanks to Kenny she finally got back to sleep, (wink wink) With the help of a little medicine.
Camping in the trailer was cool to, a lot nicer than in the tent, and god thing because the first night we were there it was raining and windy all night long. I though we were going to end up in the river.
My highlight was slickrock. I have heard about it for a long time, and finally got to try it, and it was So much fun. The rock is not slick at all, it actually grips your tires. So fun. I hoping kenny will start biking with me, so next time we go down we can do it together, and next time I will remember my helmet.
A few things we learned:
1. Don't camp right next to the campsite host. (They stare at you all day)
2. Have all the food you want prepared as much as you can beforehand
3. Bring dish soap
4. Smores work a lot better in the microwave
5. It might be worth it to invest in a big cast iron skillet
