Easter in Moab

We spent Easter weekend camping in Moab. It was a really fun trip, a lot of work with the kids, but really fun. We rented a tent trailer which was great!! Get ready for lots and lots of pictures...
Here are the boys "helping me pack":
The campsite, ours is the tent trailer by the blue truck on the left:
Inside the tent trailer:

Shalise with her Mom, Dad and friends:
Going through Hurrah pass, eating lunch and exploring in the caves:

Slick Rock:
If you notice the weather change throughout these pictures, it started out really nice and then as we were getting close to the end it started hailing and the rocks looked totally white! Talk about "slick rock". There is also a video of Jake going down a big hill.


The motorcyle:
This motorcyle belonged to little boy that was in our group and was a big hit! Carson begged and begged to ride it every day. The last time he rode it with Jake he was getting ready to park it and stepped on the gas and took out our friend's tent. They ended up with a big hole in their tent... So it looks like we'll be figuring out a way to repair or buy a new tent... I guess this is why a 3 year old should not be riding a motorcycle even with Dad on the back!
Here's a little video of Carson riding the motorcycle, he saw me taking pictures and had to stop and pose to say "cheese":
The Easter bunny came while we were camping.
Shalise enjoying her lollipop from the Easter bunny:
All the kids had a little Easter Egg Hunt. Most kids had to find the ones with their initials but since my kids can't read I put Thomas the Train stickers on so they could find them, here are the boys enjoying their treats:
Carson playing with his bucket and shovel from the Easter Bunny, he spent like two hours playing on this dirt hill:
Rhino Naps, gotta love them!!

My favorite pictures are the kids napping. So cute. You guys are super adventurers. I'm impressed that you did all that plus an Easter egg hunt. Super fun!

I laughed out loud at the picture of Shalise and Marcus sleeping--don't you wish you could crash like that? Sounds like a fantastic trip. Wish I was there!
