2013 Family Vacation | Day 3 - Hole in the Rock, 4 Corners, Run in w/the Law

Before we left Moab on Thursday, I wanted to go find some more petroglyphs.  We were trying to find a petroglyph panel called the birthing scene.  Despite looking everywhere for it, we could not locate it.  I finally gave up and, a little miffed at wasting so much time, was speeding down the canyon.  A glance in my rearview mirror told me I had been going a little too fast:

Nothing like a $90 ticket to put a damper on the morning.  Oh well, what would a family vacation be without a little run in with the law?

We stopped at the Hole in the Rock south of Moab and toured the 5,000 square foot home that is built into the rock.  I don't know what we were thinking taking Aiden on a guided tour.  He would not stand still and wanted to climb on everything.  I think the tour guide about had a coronary when he tried to climb on one of the beds.  Needless to say, Jeff had to make an exit early with the little imp in tow.  

I haven't done any layouts for the rest of the vacation, so you'll just have to deal with me narrating each picture! ;)  They had lots of cool things around the property that the kid loved looking at.

The couple that built the house is buried in a little cove on the property.

Aiden didn't really appreciate this "Mater" too much and didn't want to stand by him for long.  He told me, "I don't like that Mater; he looks stupid!"  I did sort-of agree with him.

We passed through Monticello and stretched our legs a bit in front of the temple there.

Next was Four Corners, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.  The kids loved being in 4 states at one time:

Too much togetherness in the car; we had to put state lines between them.
