So our trip began with SKY DIVING!!! We were scheduled to jump around 11, but ended up jumping around 1:30. By then, the baby hadn't eaten for too long and I was already nauseous. Well, I hopped in the plane with Casey and my ill-fated tandem partner Paul who had done over 15,000 jumps. The scenery was gorgeous, but the flight was a little bumpy, which also didn't help. The free fall was AMAZING!!! But then the shoot opened and we started doing tricks. I barfed once and managed to swallow it, but the second time it came up, it was all over Paul and my arms. I felt really bad, but it was still fun. Casey had a great time, so it was a success. Also, I think baby liked it.
Lori and I wanted to get wet while we were in Moab so we looked up cool watering holes to swim in and we found Faux Falls. The directions the website were really good until the last little bit which got a little confusing. The small hike to the waterfall turned into a slightly longer hike because of a wrong turn, but we still got there. Very refreshing and although Lori didn't go all the way in the waterfall she did get pretty close.
Now begins pics of the hike, where we learned that we cannot follow piles of rocks and make it to a destination. Casey is busting out the tree yoga pose in front of some of the cool needles rock formations.
Here is a picture of the little piles of rocks to follow, you think that it would be easy, but we got off the trail a few times and ended up on a completely different trail, but thought we were headed the right way because we still saw rocks. (perhaps canyonlands needs to color code the rocks for those who aren't savvy hikers such as ourselves.)
At first Lori supposed that if she gave me the camera I wouldn't take enough pictures, but here she is showing her frustration in just how many I wanted to take of her. Although we didn't actually end up at our intended destination there were many cool trails, ladders, holes and breathtaking views.
We are cute hikers and we love each other. awwwwwe.
Well, if nothing else, we ate well on this trip. Foiled dinners one night and then these amazing burgers the next night. Yeah, toasted Pope rolls, melted cheese, beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Delicious!!! We also rounded out every night with Smores, which the baby also really liked!
We ended our amazing weekend with some shorter hikes. We finally saw an arch, went to a place called whale rock where I was sure I was going to fall off and die, so I had a death grip on Casey's shirt. And this this crater/dome thing that was actually really cool. And it's one last picture of the hottest new couple in the Sugiyama/Mau families on an unforgettable weekend in Moab.

OK... great post! but did you ever think that someone might be messing with the rock piles just to get people lost? We have people like that in our family so they are probably everywhere. that burger looks like a real winner. It is making me hungry right now.
Awesome trip. Next time you'll probably need to take Connie. This would be her ideal trip, definitely not mine. You all know me and thrilling danger do not mix.
Basically awesome food mixed with my biggest nightmares :) I'm with Tak. I like to keep my feet on the ground, but I don't like sleeping on it! The only thing I like about camping is the food! Your eats look super delish and the hike had some beautiful scenery! Looks like you guys had a blast.
