Napoleon...is that you???

So Steve and I spent the weekend in Moab with our good friends, Ryan and Britany. We are both celebrating our 6 yr anniversary so why not spend it on the river??? We were planning to go WHITE water rafting, but it turned out to be a smooth ride ALL day!!! We new we were in for it when the geriatrics ward showed up fully clothed and with canes. Even though we never encountered a true rapid we still had a blast. Our "guide" was straight from Napoleon Dynamite. You could say that he looked and sounded just like Napoleon with a twist of Kip. It was awsome!!! The poor guy had no idea what he signed up with both our husbands on board.....here are some of the pictures and all can say is some need explaining.....

Steve and I totally pumped for the big river trip!!!

Steve and Ryan also showing their enthusiasm for the river....i think?

We all eventually sank in the sand up to our thighs...need I say more

Steve wishing he was this tall

One of our favorite floaters...in the background...can't miss the "Frenchie" in all his glory!!!

Us girls in the river, anything an inch below the surface disappeared...keep your mouth closed!


Saturday was my birthday so we found the nicest place in town....keep in mind we are still in Moab.... and had dinner. It was an old place on top of a cliff that looked a little iffy, but the food and the view was amazing!

Steve and Ryan forgot to put sunscreen in some places and boy did they pay!

Sunday we went into Arches to enjoys nature....as long as it was no more than 100 yards round trip of course. What do you expect, it was 110 degrees!!!

We did do some climbing but the kids in the picture don't do it justice...

Happy birthday to you and it sounds like you had a fun time in moab. I can't belive that sand was it hard to get out once you got stuck in it? And you gotta love the french and their awesome speedos!
