MADE IT TO MOAB.......



AND BACK !



No calamity or illness to report ! Just NON-STOP FUN !



Marky and his brothers had a blast.

The weather was great and the scenery was spectacular !

Sam loved all the red dirt. His weekend-long occupation was to fill up
his shoes with the smooth, wonderful feeling, "sandstoney" dirt and marvel
at his accomplishment.....over and over !

One of the days, Marky and Scotty and myself took a hike up to view the "Delicate Arch". The hike was quite taxing on little Marky, but he was
determined to get to the viewpoint.

Scotty, of course would hike ahead and at one point jumped out to scare Marky and pretend to throw him over the edge.

Mark reacted with hands on his hips in a matter-of-fact lecturing posture stating............"Scotty, I've already lived through ONE life-threatening experience, ---- I don't need another one ! Geez ! "

While the boys were marveling at all the scenery, I was marveling that "The
Jeanes People" were actually on a vacation together ! That Mark Jeanes was
hiking on a trail ! And not traveling "up the mountain" to PCMC, and "wheeling" down a hallway for surgery or more tests !

I think I'd like to label this trip in the books as......

"Delicate Arch meets......Delicate Mark "

............AND.......

"Desert sand meets........Draper Sam "

..........AND..........

"Slick Rock meets.........Slick Scott !
