Arches Day 1

Jeremy and I planned a trip to Arches National Park from April 14th-16th. I really didn't set to high of expectations, not knowing how much hiking our kids could take. Boy was I surprised! We were able to do just about everything I could have wanted. We took like 300 pictures, so although I am posting A TON, at least it's not all 300! I wish I was funny or Witty to make it more interesting, but I'm not. So it's just a journal post...

We arrived at our "campground" at 3:30pm. This is the first time I have ever camped in a KOA type thing. It was weird. Jeremy loved having a shower. I would prefer some space to myself over having showers. All in all, it worked out great because it was really close the Arches.

The kids LOVED this motorcycle at the check in desk.

Here is our tent spot.

We set up camp, and while I packed our picnic lunch Jeremy and the kids played around.

Jeremy has been SO BUSY with work it was so nice to kidnap him and have his attention!!

We headed off to Arches and were greated by these awesome sights!

We then headed off for an evening hike!

Boston did AMAZING. He kept telling us to hurry up! He was ahead of us the entire time... except for when I made him hold my hand!

Boston also did a great job of finding the rock cairns which marked the trail.

We did it! We made it to Delicate Arch! (3 miles) It was SUPER WINDY, but oh so worth it. This is probably my favorite arch because it is so hidden until you come around the corner and all the sudden, WOW! There is the BEAUTIFUL arch!

Me and Boston braved the wind and trekked out to be under the arch. We are so tiny!!

On our way back down we ate a picnic dinner. The kids LOVED eating outside for nearly every meal! I loved it too, easy clean up!

We finished our hike just in time! The sun was just setting! What a perfect start to our adventure!

We went back to camp and roasted some hot dogs!! We were all pretty tired and were asleep by 10:00...
