Moab

Meeting in Frisco
The aspens are changing and it's starting to snow. Here's hoping for an early start of the ski season. The craziest thing is we were heading to the desert in Utah. We drove through snow to stay in 90 degree weather.
Girls win. The boys don't even have the poles in yet!
Garrett helped organize this whole thing with his girlfriend Paulie. He's on his son's dirt bike, with his Scottish hat.
Now Matt has the hat on the big bike. That's crazy Rico, Garrett's dog.
Got the kayaks out. The campsite was almost right on the river. Awesome!! Lots of people took a turn in the kayak.
I love this photo. This is the view from our site. The colors are great!! Wow!!
Andy and Matt. That water is unbelievably cold. Louis is the golden that can swim all day and night.
Here's the group starting out on our rafting trip.
This is our group during our lunch break.
I was ambushed by Jeremy and Matt. Jerks!...
COLD!!
Melody, me and Sarah W. Such a beautiful day!
Paulie was bossman on our raft.
The end of the trip. It was awesome to float right back to our campsite. Great times!!!!

Thursday through Sunday this last week we went to Moab, Utah. We had such a blast. Jeremy and I worked Wednesday night so the trip was a little tough. We had to head home from work, pack then meet with some people to caravan with in Frisco. It was cold at our house and snowing when we drove over Hoosier and Vail passes. It was a way longer trip than it should have been. It's hard to caravan with 5 cars and 10 people. Every stop takes much longer and we were tired. We finally made it to our campsite and got set up. Then we played around in the river (which was right next to the site) before starting a fire, drinking too much and going to bed. The next day was fun too. Many people went to Slickrock to go mountain biking. Me and a few of the other girls went to town to rent the rafts, get some groceries and do some shopping. Then we relaxed and enjoyed the day. That night went similar to the first night but it got a little loud and we got a little in trouble but not too bad. I was one of those people that stayed up way too late (like 7am) and I'm sure I contributed to the loud (but no where near as bad as a couple someones that won't be named). Hey, did any of you know that the Texans are in the same division as the Colts, Jaguars and Titans...ouch! I only got 2 hours of sleep before starting the next day. The next day we went on a raft trip. It's kind of funny to watch 20 people try to get moving to do anything. Had the best time on the river. I was a little upset at how my photos from that day turned out. Apparently my shutter speed was inadvertently changed and all my photos turned out dark. Bummer! So we were so tired after this trip but Paulie offered to drive us to a place that charged $5 for unlimited shower time. I couldn't pass it up after two nights in the desert and a full day on the river. Then we had a very chill night and went to bed early. Today we picked up and drove home leisurely, stopping to have dinner in Frisco. It was such a fun time. We discussed making this an annual trip and I really hope we do!!!
