MOAB!

Our wonderful friends, Jaclyn and Matt Beaty planned to meet us in Moab in the middle of September! We were really excited about this since we had heard such great things about Arches National Park! Well... we almost didn't get to make this awesome trip because Jeff found out in August that he would be moving to Kansas City for work and then I had to have an emergency appendectomy at 14 weeks pregnant (YAY!) the week before our trip! So, needless to say, the odds were stacked against us, but thankfully, we were able to figure everything out and make the trip and we are so glad we did. The drive across Colorado was beautiful and the scenery in Moab is hard to beat. We had such a great, quick trip and it is ALWAYS fun to get together with the Beatys! They are the best travel buddies.

The first arch we went and saw the night we got there. 

Boone riding in the backpack. This may have been his last trip in the pack.

Such amazing creations. For a little perspective, you can see me sitting on the bottom left of the arch.

Our family of 3.5. You can just start to see a baby belly developing!

Love this girl! Jeff and I are so thankful for the Matt and Jaclyn's friendship!

I just love this picture of him. He has seen so many neat things in his two short years.

The delicate arch, way in the background.

Jaclyn being a haus, per usual.

On Saturday, we went to Dead Horse Canyon State Park. It was beautiful! That's sort of a theme around here.

It was a hot day there, and we didn't bring any sunscreen! We weren't expecting the super hot weather since it had been so mild in Denver around that time.

Boone makes a playground wherever he goes!

The Colorado River

Our (very) minimal cabin that we camped at in Moab.

Landscape arch on our last night there. Parts of this arch had already fallen down in the 90s.

After we got back from Moab, Jeff left the next day to fly to Kansas City and begin work there. Boone and I began a 5 month nomadic life also, but more on that later!
