Sunday August 5th, Moab, Utah


LAZY day – we don’t really have to be anywhere but plan on going to Arches National Park and skipping Canyonlands park.  We had scheduled two full days here but it is hot and we are going to go to Breckenridge instead.  The nice RV park here didn’t charge us for the third night and we found a beautiful place in Breckenridge that is more of a resort that allows RV’s to stay.

Since we finally have strong internet access I updated the blog this morning being a week and a half behind and added some pictures, they take a while to load so that is the frustrating part.

The kids played in the playground for a couple hours building this river with water from some hose, they had fun but they were pretty dirty so we got a late start to the Arches park.

It was beautiful!  So different than any other landscapes we’d seen, like the canyons but smooth and weird.  It was nice since you could walk in them and around and no serious cliffs to fall down.  Though Grant did climb a little higher than we liked and he was trying to do ‘parkour’ on the rocks – really and made me record him doing it.  This crazy French guy climbed in this crack to get a picture and I thought he was going to die so I was recording him to, and then I wanted to kill him myself because Grant was trying to follow him. 

There were a lot of tourists there suddenly and motorcyclists and it was really hot so we bowed out after a couple hours, Rick and I were tired of carrying the backpack with all the waters and cameras while trying to keep Blair in her flip flops from following Grant up walls.

We got back made dinner, kids went swimming and then tried playing some games, UNO and Jenga but whoever lost was resolved to tears and it quickly became a brawl.
