Moab Fun

A couple of weekends ago, we decided to head down to Moab for some fun in the sun (the hot sun).  We were planning on leaving in better time on Friday, but didn't get out soon enough, so we did not hike that night like we thought we were going to.  We got up there and met Mike and Dani who were already at the camp.  First thing we did..... bug spray.  Holy cow were the bugs out.  We all have many bites to prove it, dang deet, we thought you were supposed to help with this:):).  
As soon as we got camp set up we all jumped in the car (to get away from our nasty friends) and went into town to walk around and grab some shakes.


Saturday morning the 5 of us woke up early to go mountain biking.  After not sleeping because of the heat, it felt especially early.  Side note... Alec woke up with a huge bug bite on his lip poor guy.  It was totally swollen, I could not stop laughing it looked pretty funny.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of it.  He took some Benadryl and was ok, besides being super sleepy for the first part of the ride:)
We decided to try the Klondike Bluff trail.  It ended up being awesome.  It was all super rideable (is that a word), and super fun.  At the end of the ride, we hiked a little ways into Arches NP (yes, again we hiked on our mountain bike ride, jeepers).



After biking, we met up with everybody else and got ready to ride the river.  Grabbed our raft and some food and headed to the spot.  Oh my gosh, we had a blast.  I wish that we would have brought our waterproof camera case to grab some pics but we forgot it.  It was so fun.

So our first trip to Moab of the season was a success.  We had a blast!!
