Spring Break 2014

For several years Chad and I would use Spring Break for our own vacation. We would leave the kids with family members and we would jet set off somewhere. Last year, we decided to take the kids to the Oregon coast. It was lovely and nice and we made some wonderful memories. Chad wanted to take a vacation with just the two of us this year. I love to go on vacation with just Chad, but I really felt like we needed to spend Spring Break with our kids. I feel like we only have a few more Spring Break's with Kyle and he will be graduated and off on his own. When I suggested that I was really hoping we could find somewhere to go on an airplane and make some fun memories that way. Well, it is pretty hard to find somewhere to fly during Spring Break that is open and will have enough seats available for all 6 of us. So, we decided not to fly anywhere. We have never been to Moab. Chad had heard from a couple of friend's how fun Moab is. So, the first three days of our Spring Break, we went to Moab. Chad rented us a one room cabin. It was in a campground. The cabin had two queen beds and a set of bunk beds in one room. It had a nice bathroom facility and was really cozy. We had a great time. We hiked to every arche you could possibly hike to...probably over 10 miles. The boys got to bike the infamous slick rock and a Moab trip wouldn't be complete without "Jeeping". He tried to take my little Lexi, but it just isn't meant for jeeping. Chad's friend Ben went with us and two of his kids (which was nice), so they went jeeping in his truck. I was happy to stay back and watch all of the bikes!

Our swimming pool closed so Chad snuck them in to a nearby pool

We thought this train tracks looked awesome

Jeeping in Lexi didn't really work

After Moab we came home for the night and then went to a friends cabin. I didn't take very many pictures. We were too busy playing and relaxing. The boys had a blast having paintball wars. 

They were quite proud if their injuries. I only took pics of Chad and Landon's.
