Moab

Last weekend we headed down to Moab for the Canyonlands Half Marathon. We left a day earlier than normal so we could spend a whole day there before the race. The drive down went pretty fast. We saw herds of deer as we drove through Spanish Fork Canyon! We stayed in a condo with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Addie was so excited to have some other kids to play with and so were we! The weather wasn't as warm as last year but it ended up being pretty nice.



On Friday, we had a relaxing morning, then we hiked up to Delicate Arch! Probably not the best thing for a couple of runners the day before a race but it was very pretty. Clay carried Addie in a backpack on the way up and then on his shoulders and she walked a little on the way down.







Saturday was the race. It was nice because it didn't start until 10 so the runners didn't have to wake up early! Addie and I went with my aunt and cousins to the finish and then met up with Gaga and some of Clay's siblings there. He finished the race in 2 hrs. 3 min. so it was better than he expected. Good job Clay! We are proud of you!







Clay's aunt has a few animals on her land and there were a bunch of little baby lambs. Addie loved going to see them and trying to feed them!





We went to visit Clay's grandma on Sunday before heading out and then grabbed some quick lunch at Wendy's. While we were eating lunch, Addie sat down in her seat and grabbed her kids meal bag and started looking at the stuff on it! Since I remember loving to do that as a kid, it made her feel too grown up to me! She's still way too little to be interested in what is on the sides of things! It was cute though.

It was a fun trip and we had a great time! It is always nice to be home though!
