ARCHES

Have you ever been to ARCHES National Park? It is truly amazing. We have driven by so many times but never actually stopped. We thought this would be the year. Although the kids are still small they would enjoy it. As we were driving and looking at all the awesome rock formations we were saying what they looked like. "This one looks like an alligator, or a camel, or a nativity set tommy came up with that one. It was a lot of fun to just enjoy the beauty around us, but also to have the kids join in. One year, when the kids get a little bigger we can spend more time there.

As we were walking through we kept seeing these lizards. Timothy was so excited about them. He would stare, and stare, and stare. We saw a lot. It's interesting all that you can learn about lizards and rocks and what your parents ACTUALLY know when you are on a car trip!!!

We stopped at Double Arches, I think that's what it's called. It was a chance to actually get up into the arches and climb around- plus it wasnt as busy as the other arches. The kids had so much fun. First we had to take a picture, then they all scurried off. They thought the echoing was cool too. The girls high-tailed it up this rock, then couldn't really get down because they all had flip flops on, including me. I was such a help!!

Tommy is my little mountain man. He was all over the place. Especially the big rocks- we couldn't get him down fast enoug. He was jumping and racing all over the place. Good example huh? Yeah Timbo wanted to do everything that Tommy did.

Timothy just loved every second. He was a little scared to wander on his own, but like I said once he saw Tommy out there he was all over it.

I promise they had fun, we all did. Josh was even there- he took some amazing pictures. He even got one of Me!!
