Spring Moab weekend

We spent this past weekend in Moab with Rob's brother, Tom, his girlfriend, Melissa, and Melissa's friend, Zack. While Rob, Tom and Zack were mountain biking on the Porcupine Rim Trail, the girls including Melissa, Lucy and myself went for a hike along the Negro Bill Trail. Lucy really loved going for multiple dips in the water along the trail to cool herself off.



We arrived Friday night to a constant light rain in the desert. The next afternoon, we saw a lot of cactus blooms like this one along the Negro Bill Trail.



Lucy takes a break from all the swimming and running through the water to sun herself.




Another beautiful cactus bloom.



Tom graciously invited us to stay with him at this semi-permanent tent that he and his friend, Gavin, built in Castle Valley. It made desert camping much more luxurious for us. If you zoom in, you can see Rob helping set up an Ikea kitchen that will be used in the tent from now on.
