Arches Day 2

What a rough night. A group of single adults came at 11:00pm to set up camp. They did this by shining their truck lights in our tent, and laughing, talking as loud as possible. Between that and Hadley waking up a million times, we didn't get much sleep. But the sun came up, and we decided to make the best out of the day!
We started off the day going to the visitor's center. Maybe we should have done that the first day...

There is even arches inside the Visitors Center!

The we headed out to Devil's Garden where a number of the arches are hidden.

We did a loop (1.6 miles) to see 3 arches. The first one was Tunnel Arch.

This is as close as you can get to this one!

The next one was Pine Tree Arch! It was really cool. It had several pine tree's around it...

Super Dad!

The last Arch on our loop was Landscape Arch! This one is HUGE! Bigger then a football field!!

It was a great loop. Easy trail.

Next up, Skyline Arch.

You can see this one from the road, but it is worth the short (.4 mile) walk

to see all the rock's that fell to make the arch so big! Seriously amazing.

I didn't think we would see any of these creatures since it wasn't very warm, but I was surprised! We ran into about 5 of them! Hadley LOVED them! And pretended to see them everywhere!

Next we went in between these rocks, (.3 mile) to go to

Sand Dune Arch! The kids FAVORITE!!

You walk through these tight areas and wind up in a big open area full of sand!

It was finally warming up, so we let the kids go to town!

Beach Babe! She couldn't get enough of the sand and kept begging to go back! More Sand, More Sand. Again, Again!

Boston thought it would be a great idea to make sand angels!

The warm sand felt SO GOOD!

Awesome, Awesome Arch!!

After all that fun, both kids ZONKED out!

While they slept we enjoyed some of the views you can drive to, like this one. The Fiery Furnace!

We drove back to camp and let the kids swim in the pool! It really wasn't that warm, so we didn't stay to long! The kids had a blast though.

That night we went into Moab and had fun browsing the shops and eating out!

Boston's kid's menu pancake... IT WAS HUGE!!!!

Oh my yummyness!

We felt really silly driving around in the mini-van, when everyone else drove around jeeps!! What a fun day! We went to bed hoping we could all get some sleep!
