The 'Vincent Team' at Dead Horse Cove
We went to Moab, UT for a family vacation to celebrate Maddox graduating from preschool, and the start of Summer. I've never been to Moab, or Arches National Park so was excited about discovering a new part of Utah. The boys had a great time hiking around Goblin Valley---it was amazing to see the rock formations. We also actually hiked the 3 mile trek to see the Delicate Arch in Arches. Scott had heard it was "easy", but later came to find out after reading the map that it was actually labeled "strenuous". You can say that again when having to back pack or hold Kensley and Parker up a face of a mountain! We took lots of breaks, and had lots of encouragement from all the other hikers, and actually made it to the spectacular arch. Unfortunately for us, once we got to the arch, there was a horrible sand/wind storm. The boys both were crying, and Kensley was having a hard time even catching her breath, so we were only able to view it for a minute or so!!
Scott reserved a great condo for us in Moab which was right across from the swimming pool/hot tub. We enjoyed some great restaurants in town, and just got to relax with the whole family together. If you haven't been to Moab before, I would highly recommend it! I can't wait until the kids are a little older so that we can do some mountain biking, jeep 4x4 tours, and some white water rafting!

Wow...I just caught up on your blog and your family is beautiful. Kensley is so sweet and the boys are so big. Looks like all is well for you...so happy for you. Was that Ginger Acre-Laretta's b-day? Tell her hello for me. We are in PA and enjoying being back on the East coast. Hello to everyone.

Love arches pics, sounds like a fun trip and first time to Moab (it really is great). Summer has already been so crazy, I haven't caught up on the blogs forever, good to see your fam (even if it's not in person).
Let's BBQ this month - it's on.
