Moab

It's been a long time since I updated on what we've been up to! But since that would take forever to update EVERYTHING, I'm just going to skip almost all the happenings except for last Friday, our day trip to Moab, Utah! Scott took the day off so we could spend the day together as a family, which was so nice! We left around nine from GJ, picking up donuts and coffee on the way out. Scott and I spent the time in the car talking about his job and little Daniel and future plans. I love talking with my hubby! Daniel was great the whole trip to Moab, and then ended up eating at the diner where we stopped for lunch in town. He was so cute at the diner. There were lots of people coming and going and he was looking all over watching them. Of course, they were all looking at him cuz they thought he was so cute! :o)




After lunch we walked around town, going in various shops, looking around them super fast as our always-keep-moving Danny would start crying almost the minute we stopped to look at something. I found a shop of the cutest clothes, but boy were they ever expensive! We went through the shops quickly and then drove to Arches National Park...

We had both been there before, but although Scott remembered a lot of it, I did not remember much at all. It was fun taking Daniel to his first National Park in his first other state. We stopped at Balanced Rock where we got out Danny's stroller and walked down the path to get pics closer to the amazing red rocks! Poor Daniel was very fussy, though, so he did not enjoy the very short walk at all. :o( Once we got to the end of the path, Scott took him out of his stroller for a few pics real quick so everyone could see he was actually there. He loved that until we had to cover him up to protect from the hot sun.

After that stop Daniel ate as we continued driving around the park. Even though we didn't get out again til the very end, we stopped at each arch viewpoint and took pics out the window. Gotta love national park touring with an 8-week-old! :o) It was still lots of fun, though! A beautiful day and Scott and I enjoyed planning out which hikes we would like to do one day once Danny is older... And driving through the cool campground they have there...

At the North and South Window Arches on the way back, we stopped and got out to take more pics of us. Daniel was in a much better mood. :o) Then we headed back into Moab to eat dinner at an amazing pizza place that Scott used to eat at with his family growing up. We ate out on their patio to enjoy more of the beautiful day and small town of Moab.

We drove back to GJ after dinner by the scenic route. It was so pretty along the river. I am loving this time of Daniel's life, but I am super excited when we can start camping with him more... doing family camping trips out in God's beautiful creation!
