Moab!! (Part 2)

So the second day of our trip was probably my favorite.  Here's what went down:
We rode in a Hot Air Balloon!  So cool.








Then we hiked to Delicate Arch, arguably one of the most iconic sites in our beautiful state (it's on our license plates after all).



Here is yet another picture of Wade taking a nap...

It was so windy!  We had to hold on to each other to keep from blowing away!

Cory's hat DID blow a way...over the edge of a cliff.  He and Wade went on an adventure and rescued it.  He must really like that hat...

See, I really did study! 

And then I was rewarded for it with the most delicious dinner ever at the Moab Brewery, with the most amazing chocolate cake ever for dessert.

I was really struck this day with how beautiful Utah really is.  We have everything, from the mountains in Salt Lake, to the red rock deserts, to Lake Powell...I love it here!

What a great vacation! I am so jealous of your balloon ride. I've always wanted to do that! I'm laughing at wade sleeping. He was doing that in choir yesterday. But don't worry, I kept waking him up! Way to go getting some homework done! Wade should have been doing some music theory! Silly boy.
