Shake It Up!!

The first weekend this month Koby and I went on a little weekend trip with my family to Kanab. Every year on our way to Lake Powell we pass the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and every year my mom says "one year we need to come a day early and see the dunes". My dad is addicted to KSL and while he was on there he found a condo for rent in Kanab of all places. So that is where we headed. We borrowed 3 four-wheelers from a family friend and headed down to good ol' Kanab. We fit 7 adults and 4 kids in a 3 bedroom townhouse. Friday the grown-ups went four-wheeling while my mom watched the kids at the dunes. She said the kids loved playing in the sand. We rode around for a while then we came back and ate lunch at the car.











We headed back up the trail to a place that a guy said we could hike to some petroglyphs. We drove up to the trail head and went on the hike. It was wasn't too long and the petroglyphs were in a shaded area so that was an extra bonus. After that we went out on the dunes with the 4-wheelers. It was so fun! It was almost like a roller coaster at times!



















That night we ate at Houston's, which is where we always eat when passing through Kanab, in hopes of watching the BYU game. Unfortunately they didn't have the right channel so we couldn't watch it. The next morning we rented a Rhino and we all headed out on the 4-wheelers, well Koby stayed home to do homework. We went on a beautiful ride up the mountain side up to a lookout over the valley of Kanab. It was really cool!







We made it back in time to see some of the last talks of Conference. Between Conference I rode bikes with the kids around the condo. I took Landon for a ride on Lindy's bike that has the baby seat in back. I was a little worried because I've crashed one too many things of theirs, but it was really fun!! Landon kept telling me every time we went over a bump "oh that was a little bump"! It was so cute! After the second session of Conference we all rode bikes over to the Kanab City Park. We played tennis and the kids played around on the park and tried to play tennis.













While the boys went to the priesthood session the kids watched a movie, Lindy and I finished a puzzle, and my mom made pizza for dinner. We left Sunday after everything was in order. We had such a good time together!!! :)
