The last weekend of June we went to Moab, UT for our annual trip. We left Friday morning. Our friend Charlie came with us. We arrived in time to visit my friend, Janel and leave our kids while Joel and I went golfing. We went to our favorite pizza place and then on to the campground. This year we got a cabin-yes, we are getting soft.

Saturday morning, Charlie and I went mountain biking on a trail leading to Hidden Valley. We didn't make it to Hidden Valley but we had a blast goofing around in a place called Lunar Valley. It was like the surface of the moon with white ragged sandstone to bike around on.

In the afternoon we hit the river. Janel and Jeff gave our kids and Charlie a ride in their Sport Boat. Later we borrowed some single inflatable kayaks (Duckies) and took everyone down the river. Charlie was a good sport and took Calvin and Oliver and Joel, Hailey and I in another. It was a fun ride on the Colorado and the kids' favorite part of the trip.

In the evening we went swimming at the campground and Joel cooked dinner. Janel and her boys, Corbin and Chance came swimming. We made smores and enjoyed everything but the mosquitoes.

Sunday we went to church and then headed home. It was a great trip and we look forward to many more annual Moab trips. Everyone is always invited!
