Moab fun

Every year we get to go down to Moab in March and leave the kids home so us parents can go have a little adult fun! We have always gone down with the excuse it is to run the Moab half marathon but this year we played a lot more than in the years past and made it not only about running. Thanks to all of our babysitters we were able to leave bright and early Friday morning with the Riley and stephanie and Tate and Marla so we could get some jeeping in. Riley's brother Kyle and his friend met us down their and it was time to load in our rented jeeps and hit some trails. Of course who ever reads the instruction manual, but had we been that one in a million that always reads the fine print we would have known that the first trail we went on was on the prohibited list. So off we went on hells revenge and lucky do us we did roll or damage the jeeps. The guys did a great job driving while Marla and I, who were in the same jeep, we're great at a screaming and even jumping out when Tate and Ryan tried out a hole called the car wash! It was a fun day of enjoying 70 degree weather, jeeping also at fins and things, eating at our traditional spot the Moab brewery and then off to bed for our race while liljiana and Robert came late that night. Since the race landed on st. Patrick's day the girls made sure we were dresses for the occasion with green eyeshadow and lipstick along with funky socks. Marla and I ran the 5 mile run while everyone else ran the half. It was a great race and then it was off to shower and get a late lunch. After eating we went to a couple of shops and then grab a movie and snacks and headed back to the condo. The girls played some games while the boys watched a movie at the other condo since us girls were being to loud with all our laughing. After the last game the boys came back and were good sports about watching the new footloose. The only good thing about that movie is I got a nap in! Sunday came to quick and we still needed to get some hiking in and the weather was supposed to keep getting worse so we got a quick breakfast and went hiking in the rain. It was a great hike that left us all a little wet and ready to get in the dry cars. We stopped in price for lunch and then it was time to go back to reality and being parents. It was a fun weekend with friends and we are already planning next year and we will be better about jeeping on approved trails.
