MOAB has Bright Stars and Red Rocks!

I have a fabulous Bishop. He's the coolest and loves to do fun things and always invites some of us along, even if it's with his family. We are really tight buddies and as luck would have it, I didn't have to be at rehearsal on Saturday....soooooo, Lisa and I took off to Moab to meet our Bishop and some fellows in our ward to camp, hike, and ride four-wheelers. It ended up being so much fun! I loved it! Moab is gorgeous! It was fun to go back :)



Ha ha ha! Yes that's a pretty good face I'm pulling...and it was brought on by my apparently dramatic reaction to the bright flash. You see, we had just hiked up to Delicate Arch in the pitch dark with flashlights (which was fun and slightly frightening at the same time) and my eyes were adjusted to darkness, so that flash was WAY more than I could handle. The best thing about this night hike was the AMAZING and BREATHTAKING display of stars. I've never seen that many stars in my life! We could see the Milky Way and so many constellations, many of which I forget the name of. I was truly amazed, it was awesome!


So, we went back the next morning so that we could see what the beautiful rocks and arches look like in the sunlight. I love this picture.

Ryan and I after our long scenic ride. Sorry that I left my camera in the car so I don't have pictures of the great things we saw while on our ride. This is just the dirt parking lot where we started. Speaking of dirt, we were covered! It took seven Q-tips to clean out my ears completely. Lisa's red dirty face was definitely the best.
