moab part one

Kevin and I decided for our family vacation we would go to Moab! It just so happened there was also a race in Monticello the same weekend we wanted to go. So we loaded up the 4 wheeler (and 2 of Scott's), the dirt bike, our whole house for the kids and our 2 nannies (katie and kenzie).

Kevin and I also invited our families to join us. Denice and 3 of her girls (Sydney, Gretchen and Julia) and Grace accepted our offer! Cole LOVED every second of this, he even rode in their car.

Last minute Larissa, Dee and 2 of their friends (Christian and Shelley) decided to come also. They ended up sleeping on our hotel room floor, so there was nine of us in our room! Cole slept in the "girrrls" room.

On our way down the trailer tire got shredded. Boy was it fun for Kevin to change it in that heat.

Our first night there we went on a night hike, here is the group minus Grace who was taking the picture.

Cole was GLUED to Sydney for the whole time they were there. I hardly saw him. (Thank you Sydney, Gretchen and Julia for playing with him so much)

We woke up the next day and headed out to 4 wheel...

Kevin got to go practice on the track that night so we all went swimming!

I decided to try and take Hallie in the pool, which was way too cold, on a big floaty. The second I sat down Hallie started to scream and the floaty broke! Everyone was starring at me or running to help. I fell in the water holding Hallie above my head unaware that I could stand. What a spectacle I made...

and out to dinner at Pasta Jay's, mmmm

and the cool ones (Grace, Denice, Syd, Gretch, Julia, Cole, Hallie and I ) went to get some icecream

Later the older kids (yup I am still considering myself one of the kids) decided to go bowling but the alley closed at 10. So Kevin dragged Moab main street instead.

We stopped on the side of the road and Dee climbed up a huge hill

The next day was RACE DAY!

Denice was everywhere getting some awesome pictures of Kevin, here she is showing them to Cole

I was glad Konan and his family were there to be Kevin's pit crew, I am not so good at it

and battle wounds

Kevin was so excited to have "fans" at the race! It was so fun with everyone there, we were sad to see them go home after the race. Thank you to everyone who came!
