MOAB for Thanksgiving

It was a non traditional Thanksgiving for us this year. We spent the day driving to one of our favorite destinations, cooked dinner and ate around 9 PM. It was great fun, the condo we stayed at had a hot tub and the kids were relentless about sitting, OK sitting is not the correct term, more like turning it into an all out water park. Lets just say we were able to enjoy using it as if we were the only people in the whole place, since everyone would quickly leave after our arrival. The weather was ugly for the first two days and the third it got really nice. We were able to enjoy some good Golf, and of course Mountain Biking. Tara, Grandpa TJ, Bret and Jen all got to ride Amasa Back while I took care of the kids, then it was time for Makenna to meet the slickrock trail. It was one of those trips we have been looking forward to for years, we wondered if Makenna was up for the challenge of Slickrock and she proved that she was. Even though I was being a paranoid dad and telling her to walk her bike on the scary stuff, she just took it like a pro and rode all the stuff that made me close me eyes and grit my teeth. She did great! All in all it was a great trip.

Good stuff! Why would I ever need to go to Moab, when I can just watch this? It's like I was there all along.
