Dinousaur Tracks (Naomi's foot is right over it)
Little Jocie taking a nap. The very bumpy trail didn't seem to bother her.
At the end of the trail! Beautiful!Naomi, Aaron, Dad, Jocie and me, Mom, Nathalie and Dong Hee.
Our favorite part!
Let's go see what's on the other side!
The Arches National Park. Naomi trying to do a thumbs up.
We got tricked and went on the wrong trail to see the Delicate Arch. Didn't have enought time to go look fot the actual trail that would take us up closer, the girls were really tired and cranky, so we had to leave after this.
Jocie taking a nap and soacking up the sun. It was ridiculously hot!
Hell Revenge trail
This weekend we made an improvised, spontaneous trip to Moab. My sisters Itza was going for Stake Youth Conference and Areli got invited last minute. My mom and Sister Nathalie had taken the week off from work to spend it with Areli, since she just came home from her mission. Areli was very excited to go, but at the same time she felt bad to leave. The solution? We all went to Moab! It turned out great. We were only there for 2 days, plenty of time, considering we had 2 babies. The first day we spend on a scenic drive of the Arches National Park and then went on a jet boat tour up the Colorado River, actually everyone did, except for me, the little ones were not allowed aboard, for safety, so I took one for the team and stayed. Everyone said it was fun, so I took their word for it. The next morning we signed up for a Hummer Safari. Oh my gosh! That was for sure the craziest ride I've ever taken. We definitely did not know what we had signed up for. The trail we went on was named "Hells Revenge" The driver said "A scary name for a fun trail" Didn't think much of it, until he kept driving towards this hill, it was all slick rock. I was thinking where is he going, I don't see a trail, this is a dead end" Then I realized what he was doing to do, and I almost pee in my pants! My sister Nathalie almost started crying and my mom would not say a word, my dad even said he wanted to get off! Ha-ha! I had looked for the tour and made the reservations so everyone was blaming me for it, I did not know! Geez that thing could climb up the steepest hills and go on all sort or crazy terrains. I can't even begin to describe how crazy it was. But what concerned me and scared me the most was that we had the girls in the hummer with us. For some crazy reason that was one of the few options we had where small children could go. If I would have known, I would not have gone. The funny thing was that they were the least concerned, Jocie even took a nap! At the end of the trail we came to a cliff overlooking the Colorado River and the Canyons. It was beautiful! The coolest thing I've ever seen! Breath taking, the highlight of our trip (you get the idea). We were all happy to have gone after all. It was worth every penny and almost having a heart attack several times during that trip. Anyway, it was a fun trip. We didn't not do a lot of the things you can do in Moab, we kept it short and sweet and it was lots of fun. There always next time! We don't get out very often, never would be a better word. I think I get it from my parents, we never had a family vacation tradition. We were eight children in my family, so that tells you why. But Aaron and I came home excited about starting our own family vacation tradition. Anyway, here are some pictures of out trip.
