It's always Fun when Mckai comes.....

We love having Mckai come and hang out at our house. He is so much fun and so full of energy.

He loves to enlist any and everyone in what he is doing. And his favorite person is Grandpa.



Mckai found 2 baskets, one little and one big one. He got Grandpa to get in the big basket, him in the little one and found a blanket to put over them to hide from grandma.




When I looked all over for them...(Its hard not to miss a huge blanket in the middle of the frontroom floor)....I finally found them and took the blanket off. He laughed and laughed, he thought it was soooo funny that Grandma couldn't find them.



I think Grandpa would do just about anything for this cute little boy.....even climbing in a basket and hiding under a blanket.




Of course it helps to get Hugs and Kisses!




It's hard to believe that these BIG FEET......





Belong to this Sweet Little Boy!





Mckai loves to jump, and from just about anywhere....stairs, boxes, beds, trampolines...

Yep ......this Boy has Tons of energy, and he knows how to use it!

More Moab Pictures....

Here are some more pictures we took from Moab.

We watched some Jeeps come down a huge rock up "Slick Rock" canyon just East of Moab. It was Fun to watch, they all got out, and looked at it before they started down, and then they all came down one behind the other.

There are also some pictures from inside Arches National Park, which was awesome.

South Eastern Utah...

We took a small mini vacation to Moab.
I remember going to Moab when I was younger, but Bruce and i had never been to Moab together. So for Erin's Spring Break we decided to head south...(where we were hoping it might be a little warmer)



This is how it looked when we left, not exactly fun going threw Spanish Fork Canyon in a white out!



And this is how it looked when we arrived...not to much warmer, but there was NO SNOW...so it was awesome!




We stayed at the Red Cliff Lodge....I highly recommend it. It is a litttle ways away from Moab but we stayed right on the Colorado River.




This was the view on the back patio, it was so beautiful.




And of course there were horses on the property....we asked the owner if Erin could feed the horses some carrots. He said absolutely and he would even help us with Erin if she wanted to go for a ride around the arena on one of the horses. We tried to talk Erin into riding, but she was happy to just sit and watch, and feed them carrots.





Believe it or not we hiked up a hillside to get this picture, even Erin hiked. She was a real trooper, I am so proud of her. She only complained a little in the beginning.





Here is part of the trail, everytime you rounded a corner, there was more stairs, or more trail....if I would have read the trail guide before we left it would have told us (me) that it was a mile, and the terrain was rocky. A lesson learned






Here she is coming down with help from Dad.







This is the Colorado River coming down Hwy 128. It was a Great trip and we will do it again, but we might wait until end of April, when it is a little warmer. I took over 200 pictures, so i will post some every now and then.
