Last weekend we took our first trip down to Moab since being back here in Utah. We bought a side-by-side to play in (sort of like a 4-wheeler, but bigger and safer) and we finally got a chance to use it. I had some reservations when Josh told me he wanted to get one. I admit that I sometimes get annoyed with motorized vehicles plowing around the dessert. Plus, there is the obvious safety concerns. But it has a full roll cage, fits two carseats perfectly in the backseat, and we can easily hop out if we need to while Josh goes up anything sketchy.
We went down with the Naisbitts, who also have one. Josh and Brett have been dreaming about these trips for a long time. While we were there, they were reminiscing about the first time they met in Moab in 4th or 5th grade. They are like an old couple, always talking about the old days.
On Saturday, we rode a trail called Fins 'n things, which was near Slickrock. The weather was perfect (more than 60!), and the girls had a great time. It was probably an hour too long for them and they somehow fell asleep back there at the end despite all the bouncing around. They also had fun playing with Leah and Hayden. We stopped for a picnic for lunch and they ran around the slick rock for awhile.
All the kids ready to go. Leah is just four days older than the girls.

Josh at the wheel. I got to drive a little bit too. Too fun.

Holding hands. And of course baby doll got to come on the ride too.
We're headed down to Moab again this weekend for a half marathon and hopefully to do a little more riding. We hope that we'll get a lot of use out of this thing over the summer.
