Moab!

For my birthday this year, Rod planned a little getaway to Moab. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend! We explored places we've never been in Moab before, and while it was SO hot, it was so fun to see different parts of one of my favorite places!


Ken's Lake


Faux Falls







Mill Creek Waterfall

Rod got brave and decided to jump!


Later that night, Tyleigh and her darling friends from Costa Rica joined us in Moab.
We decided to hike Delicate Arch at around 10:30 pm. 
It's a whole different experience to hike it in the dark!

Lizzy, Tyleigh and Laney





The stars up at Delicate Arch are always incredible.  There's no light pollution, so you can see the milky way and so many of the constellations!

The next morning, the girls and I went skydiving! It was my 5th time, Tyleigh's 3rd time and Lizzy and Laney's 1st time. 








These cute girls were so adventurous and didn't even act nervous!





We made it! Moab will always be one of my most favorite places to jump!

Butterfly Biosphere

 Every summer, our cute Canadian cousins come visit and we love finding things to do with them! This year we decided to visit the butterfly biosphere at Thanksgiving Point. We had so much fun trying to convince the butterflies to land on us and just watching them fly around! So many beautiful colors and varieties of butterflies! It was hot and humid inside, but worth it!



This one loved Lexie's hair!





Claire was the master butterfly catcher and got two to stay on her at one time!

Fifth Water Hot Springs

Rod and Ty and I decided to hike to Fifth Water Hot Springs! 
It was such a fun hike - even though us old folk can barely keep up with the mountain goat these days!
It was WAY too hot to get in the hot springs, but they were so fun to see!
