Moab

We went to Moab this last weekend. Most of my family went for a family reunion of sorts. It was fun. We stayed in this crappy house called the Watermelon House; basically a really old, triple-wide trailer decorated with garage sale finds resembling watermelons. It sleeps around 20 people, so we all fit just fine. We went to Arches, which I've decided is my favorite National Park of all, Canyonlands, and drove down the Colorado River to Castle Valley. We were able to hike the Delicate Arch trail while Grandma and a couple of sisters stayed with the kids. Everyone had a good time, which is saying a lot for my family spending 3 1/2 days together. Check out the pictures on our website, www.nilscreations.com/nilsandkatrina, and you can even take a tour of the Watermelon at www.lazylizardhostel.com. I promise you'll love it. It makes it look way nicer online, but don't be fooled! We stayed on the upper level. Totally sweet.

In other exciting news, Nils came home from work yesterday feeling sick. We were pretty much out of food, so he ate manicotti and dehydrated mangos for lunch. He says the mangos made him sick. He was sick all night at school, too. When we got home he got Addie out of the van and proceeded to vomit all over our sidewalk. It was really disgusting. He threw up a lot. I thought about calling our HOA president to come clean it up, but you know, I probably would have just been yelled at. Anyhoo, he was totally fine after he puked. Funny how that works.
