For the first two days of our Spring Break, we took a quick trip down to Moab for some hiking. It was spectacular. I won't mention the not so spectacular event of coming home from 83 degrees to snow today. I KNOW. Snow in the middle of April. That in itself isn't unusual here. What is unusual is that it has been snowing off and on all month and we're getting MORE snow next week. Whatever. If the kids didn't have school next week I'd be road tripping down to AZ. But I digress . . . back to Moab.
Hiking to the Windows

Adam's favorite position on the hike-grabbing onto my ponytail. (Not shown: 2nd favorite postion--chewing on my ponytail.)
The famed Delicate Arch--Utah's unofficial landmark (the one on all the liscence plates). I'm shocked. . . SHOCKED, I tell you, that the kids made it. It was 1.5 miles . . . one way . . . almost straight up . . . pulling a 3 year old and dragging a 5 year old up the last 1/2 mile. But we made it and walked over to the arch for some pictures. Lucy's aside to Zach as we got to the Arch: "I CANNOT believe we hiked all the way up here just to see this."

I seem to remember a story when grandpa D said the same thing to his parents when they went to see the GRAND CANYON. It's never so much about the destination as it is about the WALK!
You all look like it was lots of fun! Wish the boys had arranged better on their fishing trip so it would have been during spring break. Next yr we'll have to remind them.
Love You
