Moab

Mike, our neighbor, got this new Ranger and convinced us to go to Moab with them for Labor Day. They brought their motorhome and we camped in our tent. We have a big enough tent that we set up Dax's port-a-crib. It worked out really well. I'm always a little skeptical about bringing Dax to things like this, but we all had a lot fun. We strapped the kids carseats in the Ranger and took them on some of the easier rides. It seemed the bumpier it got the more tired Dax got, he finally fell asleep with his head bouncing all over the place.

This is Mike driving Dax and his nephew around the campsite while we made dinner. The kids instantly stop whining when they go rides. You would never know it by their expressions but they liked riding, or they were just too scared to cry, either way they shut-up. :)

Landon and I drove through Arches, which is always beautiful, it was really windy and Dax was tired and ornery so we didn't hike any of the trails, but it was a great drive.

HUH?!

The older kids painting some rocks that looked like cookies, Dax thought they were cookies or at least looked good enough to eat.

Dax's first 4wheeler ride, he liked it. When Landon reved the engine he said "oohhhh".

Yeah, for dirt!
