In God's Country: Day 4

Finally. Our last day. I know that's what your thinking. And sorry Facebook people who have had major Moab overload. My blog posts weren't importing so I thought, I'll just upload all the pictures to an album. And then right after that, the posts imported. It's OK though. Just hold on a little longer. I'm almost done.

So my kids started digging these holes. Really deep holes. Right next to the fire pit. Kinda not the safest setup when it's dark and you are walking to your chair by the fire. With a sharp metal roasting stick in your hand. But hey, we all made it out alive and well. It was funny because I was getting dinner ready and all of the sudden I couldn't see Addy anywhere. I started freaking out and the girls were like, "MOM! She's in the hole". The holes then turned into forts and the sand was made into sand bombs and we had all out war raging right in the middle of our campsite. Please note all the plastic utensils sticking out of Aubrey's fort.

They spent pretty much the hole day in the holes. Get it? The hole day in the holes. Yeah, I know....

Emily's Elvis Marshmallow. It really looked like The King in for reals life. The black was his hair and she formed a little face on it. Thank you, thank you very much. You were supposed to read that last part with an Elvis voice. Just in case you...didn't...know...yeah, anyway...

This was a pretty much major nightmare. I have always hated this brush. But this is the brush Em packed. And I told her to use my brush to brush her hair, but she wasn't listening to me because she was mad that I was making her brush her hair. So she took this really great brush and started hacking through her hair. It was twisted and wound around the brush so tight. And it had hair going one way and then hair over that going the other way and then the other. It was impossible to get out. I really, really thought I was just going to have to take the scissors to it. And I would have but she is growing her hair out for locks of love and that would have just messed everything up. So I put conditioner on it and used a comb and picked the hair out. I am still surprised I was able to get it out. Although there was a pretty massive amount of hair that came out with it. The hair and the brush immediately went into the trash.

The kids spent most of the day in the holes. Steve and I spent most of the day loading up. The day before Steve got a call saying that they were going to be ready for him on a job in Colorado on Monday. So instead of driving all the way home and then turning around and driving all the way back, he decided to stay in Moab and drive the few hours past that to the job. He drove his truck down with the camper and I drove my mom's truck down with the trailer with the 4 wheelers. I have never driven a trailer that far all by my lonesome. I was a little nervous but the kids were great on the way home and we made it with no problems.

Here is a picture of Aubrey's shoes when we got home.
