Moab

For the long weekend we had been planning for a while to go to Moab....and the time finally came! Alvin's grandparents live there so we were able to stay with them and visit as well as explore a bit of Moab. It was great fun and we wish we could have stayed longer, but hopefully we get to go back sometime soon! Here are a few pictures from the trip. 

First picture on our jeeping adventure. Right over that ledge behind us you can see the Morning Glory Arch from the top...super cool!

Dinosaur in the Rock

Alvin's grandparents are way into jeeping and rock crawling...so they took us out on an adventure. Thankfully they went on a fairly easy trail. It was scary enough as it was, though, so I'm not sure I could have handled much more. Alvin's grandma drove Alvin and I  in one jeep and his grandpa drove a different jeep with Alvin's other cousins. I only wish I could be as cool as Alvin's grandma...driving jeeps like a boss in her old age!

Alvin on a bridge at the Matheson Wetlands Preserve...where we went to try and spot some sweet birds :). 

This is me trying to be a good birder like Alvin...

I think Alvin was getting tired of me taking pictures of him...so he started to pull out his sweet model poses. This was on a hike up a river near Alvin's grandparents house. 

So handsome...and the scenery is pretty good too!

Do you see that grasp he has on those binoculars? It paid off because we identified 15 different species of birds while we were there 

 I forgot my makeup at home...so I was definitely looking my best all weekend :)

I like this picture because we were able to get both of us in it without even trying...see my shadow down at the bottom?

Another studly pose

Also here is a fun fact from the trip. Alvin's grandparents found a really good sale on Double Stuff oreos at the local grocery store, ($2.29 a bag!) so let's just say that we ate more oreos than we probably should have. I think I probably ate over 40 oreos while we were there. Good thing we did all that hiking to work it off! 

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Parson for letting us come crash your weekend! We had a blast!
