Moab vacation

Clark, Chelsea and Pearce flew in to Salt Lake on Friday, October 10th from Alaska for a vacation. Mary and I joined them, and John, Maria, Angela, Emma, and Keller, for a weekend in Moab. Mary and I were the base camp with our tent trailer. The evenings were cool, so the heater in the trailer was very welcome. Most of our meals were cooked outside and eaten in the trailer. I even did some biking in Moab ( on the paved roads, not on the trails - my bicycle is not a mountain bike). We left on Monday, October 13 to return home. A few pictures from the trip are below. More photographic evidence is available on my children's blogs. All in all, we had a WONDERFUL time. We hope to do it again next year over Columbus Day.
