Moab Pics

We had ourselves a mini vacation a couple of weeks ago.  It was Clay's Christmas present.  Ironically, we left on his birthday, so it was kind of a double dose gift!  We camped in Goblin Valley on a Sunday, and went to Canyonlands National Park Monday "on our way" to Moab.  Tuesday was spent at Arches National Park and Wednesday we did a little Arches and then headed home.  

It was an interesting trip.  There was a heat wave in Southeastern Utah at the time, and that made it uncomfortable for the kids, but by Tuesday we were experiencing some nice breezes.  At some point on the trip I got a gluten contamination and spent Wednesday in the car unable to stand or even sit up.  Other than that, the trip was fun.  As usual, we took a lot of pictures:

The above pictures were Goblin Valley.  The night was clear and it was beautiful to see the stars.  It was SO HOT though...we didn't get much sleep at all, which was okay since it gave me a chance to watch the sunrise.

A little bit of Canyonlands.  We didn't explore here as much as Clay would have liked.  It was hot and the poor kids (Buddy Boy especially) were miserable.

We didn't get as many pictures as Arches, especially once I got sick.  There's a few of them though!
