Spring Break....Day 1

Today is the first day of Spring Break. So, of course, we woke up to snow. No problem. We're headed south where it's suppose to be warmer. We packed up the car and kids, popped a movie in the DVD player, and were on the road before 9 am.


Our first destination was Goblin Valley State Park in Green River, Utah (about a 5 hour drive). The weather was nice in some spots and snowy in many others. We actually made it to Price (3 hours) before we had to stop for the first time. I was amazed they lasted that long. We finally made it to Goblin Valley. It's amazing.



We walked down into the valley and right up to the "goblins." The kids had lots of fun climbing up on them and running around. Abbie was trying to figure out how the big kids got all the way up there.


Less then 10 minutes after we got into the valley, a blowing snow storm came out of nowhere. It had been a little chilly, but I didn't think it was going to snow. Even weirder than that, we heard thunder as we were hurrying back to the car.



We decided pretty quickly it was time to head to the hotel. We're thinking we should head back to Goblin Valley in the summer when there's no chance of snow. They have a campground and lots of places to hike. I think it would be a really fun place to explore.

Once we got to the hotel, the kids were stoked to go swimming. It was Abbie's first time, so she was a little tentative. It didn't take her long to decide she loved being in the water.




The kids had fun jumping back and forth between the pool and the hot tub. The hot tub was my favorite. The pool was too dang cold after being so warm! It was a nice way to relax after all that driving.


Of course, I forgot a Little Swimmer for Abbie. Man, Huggies can absorb a LOT of water. Baby got back!!

Tomorrow, we're headed to Arches National Park in Moab. Supposedly, the weather is suppose to be a lot nicer. I hope I can survive the bickering children...
