Car Show and Hike

I hiked Hidden Valley Trail with Clancey and Copper this morning. I did it the other day by myself (and Copper). I really want to do more hiking this year..to keep in shape, and also just to experience Moab and to enjoy the beautiful landscape in which I live. What a great time! Me and my buddy. We both kept saying to each other: "Isn't this great?! I love being out here with you!" And we both kept saying: "We should do this more."

Goin up..and up....and up....and up.

Ahhh. We've reached the plateau. Wonderful. Spectacular. NIIIiiice.


Ta Da! (notice the form and hand placements..just so.)

Marvelous.

See the trail?

The car show is every year in April. They come from all over the U.S. And we get to browse and say oooh and ahhh. The town gets packed.

The boys were the photographers of ALL the car picture-taken's. It's interesting to see what they thought was cool and awesome. (I did delete about 60 photos. Holy cow.) There are still about 100 I didn't post.

Ooooh. Nice.
We don't know who this guy is bikin through our "cool car" shot. But it kinda works.

Lucas taking a photo of Clancey taking a photo. People line the Main Street of Moab watching the cars cruise up and back, then up and back again. They bring their lawn chairs. It's quite entertaining.

Okay, I'm officially jealous, of all of it. Time spent with kids, the hike, the surroundings, the nice words to each other and just a great day. I need to stop coveting now.
