We went to Moab again this weekend, but this time we took some of my family too. We had a lot of fun, but there was a lot of rain! We went out to the desert for a weenie roast and shooting, but somehow the hot dogs never made it into a cooler. So, we had to upgrade potato salad from a side dish (or condiment if you ask Scott), to the main course.
Even without the hot dogs, we still had fun. This picture is of my mom shooting. I couldn't hit anything, but the rest of the group did pretty well.

This is the rattle snake Kellie found. Brandon decided to poke it with a stick so he could get a better picture. I was in the car with the kids and didn't know anything about it until after. I'm just glad the snake was too cold to play.
We got back to the house just in time. Within an hour it started pouring rain. It was amazing to watch sheets of water roll down the windows, and then it happened again Sunday. So much for our trip to the park to feed the ducks. Fortunately, Ben found a different animal to torment. This is Jack, Grandpa's cat. Ben loves him.

No way! Your family likes shooting, too? Jacob's family is way into it! At least all of his brothers. Jacob's brother Jon is a Marine, so he has a really cool collection of all sorts of guns we've gotten to try out. Alexia has even gotten to shoot HER first gun too! (With Jacob's help on the trigger, of course).
Sorry about all the rain!
How fun to have a nice family get-together. Your pictures look so pretty; Moab is so pretty. I'm glad you had a good time. It's good that Ben is entertained by the cat so that you don't have to do anything heroic to keep his attention.
Looks like lots of fun! Typical boys! - I see a snake, I must investigate. It's a dangerous one, lets find a bigger stick first!!!! :D
Looks like you had a lot of fun. I love the pictures, and hey, I don't see anything wrong with potato salad as a main course. :) And I CANNOT believe Brandon poked that freaking snake with a stick. Is he INSANE?!?!?
What a fun wet weekend, we were in Capitol Reef and had similar experiences, awe Utah weather!! I love all your pics, I have to say that I do recognize the big one at the top from many a years ago!! Oh and P.S We have a spa in Payson?!!Who knew!
