Moab

We decided to go on a little 2 night stay in Moab.  We had a good time but realized that this would be a great place to come without little kids.  There is a lot of hiking involved and the kids just wanted to go back to the hotel and swim.  We did have an exciting night hike that turned out to be kind of scary for the little kids.  Stan had us all stop while we were hiking back in the dark to tell a story.  You know how one person starts it and then the next person picks up were they left off and so on until each person has had a chance to contribute to the story.  So we were telling this story and I think it was Benson's turn and all of of sudden we heard this mysterious flute playing (kind of like an Indian flute).  There were no other people on this trail we were all alone or so we thought.  That is when the story really got good.  The boys started to get really nervous (Jacob cried a little).  We headed back and lost our way and couldn't find the trail.  Benson was inspired to direct us a certain way and we eventually found our way back.  The Moon was amazing reflecting on the side of the formations.  This place is a photographers dream.
