Daddy's Favorite Place!

Nate has wanted to take us to his favorite camping spot ever, the La Sal Mountains that are right outside of Moab . That is where he goes bow hunting and has done since he was young. I have been there with him before years ago before we had Hayden and it is a beautiful place to go but far. Finally this year we planned it early so the rest of my family could plan and go with us. We also had are friends Nikki & Jeremiah come along too.

iv align="center">We thought that since we were down that way that we would take one day and go into Moab and do some site seeing. We first chose to go to the Arches National Park . Nothing like we had expected. It was ok I guess but we really weren’t as prepared as I would have liked to have been. First, it was terribly hot!! Second, you really couldn’t see much unless you hiked and hiked. I would have liked to of hiked but we just weren’t prepared. We tried a little bit but the kids weren’t going to make it. We had heard of the Sand Dune Arch and that it is great for kids cause you can walk to it and it’s all sandy and the kids can take their shoes off. I was so looking forward to getting there, that’s all that was on my mind. We get there and pass it cause of course there is construction going on and it is a closed area. What a disappointment!! So instead we had a nice picnic lunch and then headed back down the park. I don’t think any of us could wait to get back to camp where it was cool! That was our first and last site seeing stop!! Back up to the mountains we went!


While camping, Nate took us on lots of fun four wheeler trails and fishing too. We saw quite a bit of wildlife. Bears, Elk, and tons and tons of Deer. The mommy deer were almost in our camp with their babies. It was so cool to see! All in all we had a very fun trip and Nate was beaming now that he was finally able to share his favorite place with his family!
