Moab Rocks!

So we went to Moab this weekend. I really love Moab. I am sure that it is because it is enjoyable for all of our family. When everyone is enjoying themselves then mom enjoys herself. When in Moab, I fell closer to god, the beauty of our state is breathtaking. Many people don't' realize the beauty we have here. I found myself taking a deep breath and praying to god how lucky I am to be able to enjoy it with my family. Now of course the girls understand and appreciate the beauty but the twins enjoyed the movies in the truck, the hotel swimming pool and attempting to catch lizards on the red rocks. Oh Well, mommy really enjoyed herself and that is so important.
Katie really impressed me this trip. As always she rode her own four wheeler, driving it independently. And as always Thane and I were very careful with her safety. She surprised me with her logic. She is growing emotionally and is beginning to make adult decisions (imagine that). I noticed that she was more apprehensive with the steep hills, taking them slowly, and would slow down for the mountain bikers as she should, and she would brake when appropriate. I see her growing in many different ways. She absolutely adores her dad and I found her trying every chance she got this weekend trying to prove to him that she could do it. She helped him alot and seemed really proud when he told complimented her on a job well done! I like to see the interaction between the two of them.
Of course all good things must come to an end, and coming home was not as fun as going. I had to fit many loads of laundry, preparing for the week, and grocery shopping in Sunday afternoon. By Monday I was feeling the effects and I have not quite caught up even as of tonight. OH well, the trip was worth the little extra business to be done this week.
