Pioneer Weekend!!

We spent the weekend of the 24th doing all kinds of fun things!! We spent Thursday night at Chad's grandparents house! Grandma and Grandpa Bishoff love Kiley and she loves them. On Friday, we went to Chad's Uncle Gary's house and rode Grandpa's horse (Angel) for a few minutes. Kiley wasn't so much a fan of the horses. She liked them from afar but when she was given the chance to ride one, she let us know how much she didn't like it. She loved looking at the cows, the cows didn't like her much though. She also loved the dogs running around Uncle Gary's house. We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Bishoff. 

Kiley kept dipping the spoon in the water and then licking it. She thought she was pretty cool!

Friday afternoon we headed over to Moab. One good thing about stopping at Grandpa Bishoff's house is that he  and Chad's dad look alike. This makes it so Kiley already is warmed up to her grandpa after spending some time with her great-grandpa. It seems to make Ken happy when Kiley is so excited to see him as though she's been playing with him all day long. Friday night we had a little cook-out while we waited for Cynthia to get off work and John, Christine, Scott and Brittany to get into town.

Saturday was a day full of busy fun. We started by hiking to Delicate Arch! It is beautiful! Did you know?!? Delicate Arch was actually named Landscape Arch? Someone messed that up on the map and they never fixed it. If you see Landscape Arch it is very delicate (hence it breaking some more last year). And the landscape around it is not that impressive. Delicate Arch is not very delicate and has a beautiful landscape! Funny eh?

Anyway, after hiking to the arch, we went to spend the afternoon cooling off at Ken's Lake. Kiley again was not a fan! We finally talked her into sitting in a few inches of water playing with a cup. Chad went snorkeling and found $5 which made his day!

After the afternoon at Ken's lake we went back to the house and had a BBQ which was yummy. While we waited for dessert, Scott launched some pretty awesome rockets from the backyard. Don't worry, no fires were involved in this rocket launch. Oh and Scott also made some homemade fireworks. Fire was present in this, but it was lots of fun!! We ended the night looking for bullfrogs. The boys found a couple as well as some crawdads! Chad hooked one to Scott's shirt and it was not about to let go. That made for some funny entertainment!

We had a great weekend and had the opportunity to see Cynthia one more time before she left for Denver. We're going to miss seeing her around when we are in Moab and we hope that she has a good experience in Colorado! We love you and can't wait to see you again!!
