Andrew’s mom and her friend Mike came to see us for a 5 day visit here in Moab. It was their first time to Moab, so doubly fun for us. We got to play tour guides in one of our favorite cities on the planet.
We did a bunch of trail rides in vanny, all green (beginner) level. That was for me, after being scared to death on the “red” portion of the trail ride from Syncro Solstice, I really never wanted to go on another trail ride. But I gave in, thinking it might be less scary with other reasonable people in the car. I was right! Not only was it less scary, but alot more fun than just by ourselves. We also checked out Arches National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. It’s hard to say which place had the most outstanding scenery. They were each better than the last.
A nighttime boat ride on the Colorado River through the canyons seemed like a great idea, but it was underwhelming overall. The show they put on was not as interesting as the canyon itself. Next time I’ll opt for the daytime ride.
Pam and Mike brought some games for Ingrid. Maybe so that Ingrid wouldn’t keep beating them at Uno! There was Quiddler (word game), electronic scrabble, and Set (identifying patterns). All awesome additions to my homeschool collection! We’ve been playing them everyday at lunchtime.
Check out the photos, they are amazing this time.
