What to do...Part 2

 

Here is the windy picture that I promised to find and get off of Cliff's phone. I absolutely LOVE their faces, THANK YOU WIND!!!

After the Double Arches, we headed to the North and South Arch. They have built a main trail and another trail that ventures off behind the arches for a lot longer hike. We figured, "What the heck" and took the off road trail. The kids had a blast and we saw a couple of lizards. I tried to catch one, but Cliff was getting impatient and told me to let it be. Anyway, we got some pretty decent pictures of the kids. And then a good family photo that I blew up to hang on our wall to replace the professional one that was taken 2 1/2 years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterwards, we drove to the Sand Dune Arch. The weather was pretty cold by then, but if it hadn't been I am sure we would have stayed there for a very long time. Lavea'i would bury his hand in the sand and ask, "Mom, where did my hand go?" Of course I played along and replied, "I don't know, where did it go?" Then he would quickly pull it out and say, "Here it is." The kids were loving the sand to run, jump and dig in. I would have joined in as well if I weren't holding the camera and taking all of the pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the kids tired and Leilani knocked out in her car seat, the last stop was the Delicate Arch. The most popular arch of them all. Cliff took the kids on a short trail to look at it from a distance and, at least, get a picture. So, I stayed in the car with Leilani and ended up falling asleep until they got back. I guess I was just as worn out, because apparently I was out for at least 45 minutes. That ended the trip for this time

 

 

Kalena always trying to hide in the smallest places she can find. 

The last picture I want to share is one that I took of just the view of how blue the sky was with the white clouds. I, of course, do not think my pictures ever do nature justice. I rarely take landscape pictures, but this is one that I think turned out more worthy to share.

We really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to anyone with younger or older kids. It is a place that your kids can explore and get dirty. We LOVED it! The kids say they would rather go back to Moab than Disneyland if that lets you know how much fun they had.
