Vacation

We have spent the last five days in Moab, Utah visiting family. We visited tons of cool places: Fremont Indian State Park, Canyonlands National Park (both Island in the Sky and the Needles district), and Arches National Park. We also stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge for a night, and my husband and boys went mountain biking and fishing (while my mother-in-law and I went shopping to one of my favorite stores, Wild Roses).

My in-laws have a Great Dane named Duke, who is much taller than Kaitlyn. When we first arrived, she was terrified of the giant animal. But after a day of warming up, she fell in love. She seeks him out, patting her leg (the baby sign for dog), and laughs when she finds him. Like, hysterically laughs. It is so cute. I really wish my camera hadn't stopped working after the first two days, because I missed out on a lot of cute photo opportunities.

As we were driving up the river road, we passed by an area called Sandy Beach. Aidan looked thoughtful for a moment and then said, "Of course it's sandy. Beaches ARE sandy." Duh.

Last night, we were all sitting around the table and the boys were asking questions, like they frequently do. (Aidan's question last night was, "How does our brain hold memories?") Ethan's question was hilarious. "Why do old people, like adults, like national parks so much?"

We have had a fabulous vacation. (I had completely forgotten that I had set the history blog post to autopost. Without proofreading. Kind of like I'm going to do with this post.) It will also be nice to go home.
