Arches National Park 2014

 David and Chantell along with their kids made the loooong trek down here to hang out with us for a few days while their kids were on Spring Break. We had the best time and had so much fun! I wish we could live closer - cause its so great to be around family. My girls and I headed up to Moab to meet them to check out Arches. Then the next day, we did some branding, vaccinated cows and I took all 5 kids on a hike by myself and ended up missing the trail - taking a different trail that landed us on TOP of Comb Ridge...yep I had Maddison, Jaxton, Brynlee, Aspyn and Chez...5 kids under 8 walking like 3 miles on top of a huge rock to find some stupid Indian ruins that we missed. We did find some later up on top but they were so crappy that I was so mad - but by the time Tyler found us (like the people finding the Donner party) and headed us in the right direction - we ended up seeing some cool ones (Split Level Indian Ruins) up in a cliff that we couldn't hike too. We had a GREAT time and always look forward to having cousins around!!!

If you are ever coming down to Blanding, don't miss Tyler on the big old Billboard sign right after Maverick. Can you see him putting? I was driving trying to take a picture, so it is not so great.
Do they really need 3 different techno things for 3 different people?
And now you know why these children have techno problems!?
