Spring Break 2010

We took a really fun trip for Spring Break this year. We started off in Moab for the annual half marathon. It was a fun crew – Jared & Carrie’s family, Dustin, Jaylyn, TJ and Marsha, and the Bailys. It was our coldest trip to Moab; it was even snowing when we got there. We did not let the bad weather deter us to much, we still rode some really great rides (Slick Rock twice, Amassa Back, & Klondike Bluffs with nearly all the kids.), went on some nice hikes (Delicate Arch, and to a water fall). The cool weather was actually pretty nice for the run. We hung out for a few days and the kids had a great time swimming in the pool. We left Moab and headed off for Arizona to visit some old friends and college roommates. As we drove south we went through Monticello, Utah and took a look at the temple. We drove through Monument Valley and witnessed some really breathtaking views; it always amazes me how beautiful the desert is. We stayed in Queen Creek with Marci Flowers and her family. Thanks Joey and Marci for being so good to us! Our kids had great time playing together. We went swimming (in nice warm temperatures), Mt. Biking at San Tan Mountain, and Kayaking at Canyon Lake. We got to visit Seth Williams, he played the kids some fun songs on the guitar and piano, they really enjoyed it. Seth also took me golfing it was really great to spend a little time with him. On the way home we stopped in Page, Arizona and hiked Antelope Canyon, it was amazing. We have been in several slot canyons and Antelope is easily the most amazing. The only bad part is that it is on the Navajo Nation and we had to pay a fee to gain entrance. We stopped at Lake Powell were the kids waded in the cold water, then we pulled an all-nighter driving home. It was a great trip!
