Moab Trip

First, Charlee helped me pack everything into the car:


By the time we got there that night, it was just time to go to sleep...

The next day we went hiking. The next three pictures were taken on the easy part of the trip. This hike was literally the hardest hike in Arches, the signs said: Primitive Trail. It was only about 5 miles, but took us a good couple hours. Very hard, but a blast!

Here's one of David and me:

And one of Mel and Staci:
Look at my husband! Super HOT! I mean-- look at those calves! ...oh and the view is pretty ok too.
No words really describe this one... (troll hair?)

That night Stef and Nate came up with their girls. Super fun! We went on a hike the next day.
It was gorgeous.
The whole hike was up a little canyon, switching from one side of the other. Each time we crossed through the stream. Some sunny parts, some shady parts, through the water, out of the water... We loved this hike.


I honestly don't remember taking this picture... And I have no idea who the guy is... But I'm sure Mel remembers it, (she remembers arms like that quite well)...


As you can see from the pictures above and below, all Farnsworth ladies got tired at one point or another...
Through the river...
We found a few caterpillars, Alice kept one on a stick for a while...
At the end of the hike there was this beautiful 'bridge'.
On the way back we messed around. This picture is of Mel spitting the water onto David n Mimi...

I thought this one was darling: David giving Mimi a drink...


All in all: AWESOME camping trip!

This was our second trip to Moab this season. Hopefully we'll make it down much more this summer!

Just Some Simple Easter Pictures...

Rest Of The Stay-cation

Here's what we did for the rest of our wonderful mini vacation...

Saturday: We slept in as late as we pleased and then decided to walk down to the pizza place a couple blocks away-- but then we saw it was gross weather and drove instead. Good choice considering that from there we went to Fast Kart! So much FUN! (besides the forever long wait) My arm is still a little sore from turning so much, but we were both pretty good! Of course David was much better than I-- but at least I beat out the slow guy in the group that went with us! :) From there we went back to the hotel to relax; including the jacuzzi, then a shower, and then a bath. Haha! It was super nice. On our way out we perfectly happened to drive by David's mom-- her and Shelly were up to see the symphony, and they were parking at the hotel we were at the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Just a minute difference and we wouldn't have been able to see them!
Then the best husband ever took me shopping... aka walking around in the cold snow while I picked up something to admire how cute it was only to see the price tag and put it down running.
I'm a master at this type of shopping. From the Gateway we found this small and DELICIOUS Thai place. We ate to our fill and then had some more. On our way home we met up with my amazing mom-in-law and Shelly! They came up to the room for about 10 minutes just to say hi before they went back to Orem. Soon as they left we collapsed into bed and watched tv till our eyes couldn't stay open anymore.



Sunday: Early this morning we woke up got ready and ran over to Temple Square where we met up with David's Aunt Kathleen and cousin Cody and his new wife. We all enjoyed Music and the Spoken Word and then walked around the visitors center for another hour. It was great to meet Cody and Stephanie. We went back to the hotel and relaxed for a while before church (it was fun to find some random ward to attend). We literally did not leave our room
for the rest of the day. We took naps, watch Jersey Shore, and ate leftover pizza... I told David multiple times: "I've never been this bored and ok with being this bored before." There was absolutely nothing to do, and I loved it. I read mags, watched August Rush, and found all kinds of new hidden places in Mario on my gameboy.






Monday: Our last day... We woke up and packed quickly. Then we went and ate the breakfast buffet at JB's (the restaurant connected to the hotel), it was pretty disgusting. But we were expecting exactly that, so it was just fine. We grabbed the rest of our things, checked out and drove all the way home. And just to top off how great of a weekend it was, I sang my little heart out to country the whole way home.

It was the most perfect Mini Stay-cation EVER!
