Moab Trails

Ashlee has been encouraging us to start a blog. I am not convinced that we have anything to put on a blog but she started one so I guess we will try. I am sure that our favorite pictures are of the grandchildren.

We recently had the opportunity of vacationing with the family in Moab. It was great to be with the Burnetts and most of our family, we missed Clint, Ainslee, and Andy. We will have to catch them on the next go around. We had a wonderful time, we had so much fun with everyone.

We got to Moab and set up camp and it was still 98 degrees at 6:00 pm in the evening. The kids loved the sand and the camping but the sleeping part didn't go as well as it could have. Bryce, Tanner, and Grandpa left at 6:30 pm to ride the 10.5 mile Slick Rock Bike trail. We were so eager to get on the trail that we didn't even take any pictures of our bike ride. That is probably the best anyway. Bryce and Tanner seemed to think that I looked a little bit out of place in my full length levis but we headed out anyway. It was still 98 degrees when we left. The ride was a workout but it was awesome. It took us 4 hours and it was still 88 degrees when we got back.

Cohen and Shay were having a great time playing in the tent. I think that they were trying to figure out how to jump on the bed.

A gal just can't get enough sand. It feels soooooo good!

Cohen was fired up and ready to roll. Where are the keys, mom?

Laynee felt the same was as Cohen did. She was wondering why everyone was taking so long to get loaded and ready to move out.

Bryce and Laynee giving the cowgirl rodeo wave. It was working well for Laynee but I think that Bryce needs a cute helmet like Laynee's before his wave will be very effective.

It didn't take long for Cohen to doze off. It's a good thing that he has mom for a chauffeur and grandma Burnett as a back rest.

Biker babes! Cute helmets, cute hats girls. Just had to take a short rest in the shade.

We had to take a short rest at Gemini Bridges. We all enjoyed stretching our legs.
Our three little paleontologists had to stop and take a closer look at this dinosaur track. They must all be working on the same team, notice the matching T-shirts.

In between rides we watched movies, swam in the Burnett's pool, and blew bubbles. Tanner and Shay posed for a quick photo shoot.

Grandma and Laynee were pumping out bubbles right and left. Laynee loved the automatic bubble blower.

Biker grandma just eating up the trails. She can even ride one handed, or maybe that might even be with no hands.

Cute pigtails Ash, you are a professional when it comes to 4-wheeling.

Ashlee and Bryce working out a technical spot on the trail while Leanna catches it all on film.

Kevin and Bryce ran cleanup crew and picked up any dead ones along the trail.

COOL bandana's! That has got to be a Jasperson trait, somehow my mom always comes up with enough bandana's for eveyone!

Andy & Ashlee said...

Great vacation! And the bandanas were a high point for me, but I didn't know it was a hereditary trait. I will have to make sure my girls know about this!

Thanks for starting a blog. We love to hear what adventures you are up to! -Leanna

Yes, Clint and I definitely missed out on the action! We're jealous that everyone had so much fun, but we hope that we'll be able to make the next vacation, and maybe add another grandchild in there for photos!
