Grand Arches Adventure -- Day 1

I am so glad we went on our Arches trip when we did!  Thanks to our government, not everyone is so lucky to see the national parks now.  Anyway, enjoy the pictures of our grand Arches Adventure.

 Mike and Me under the breathtaking Delicate arch.  The hike was long and a bit strenuous, but everyone made it.  Even grandma!  It is such an amazing sight to come around the corner and see the arch.

 Woohoo!  Arches!

 Mike and the kids were like mountain goats on the rocks.  Peter and I stayed behind to take pictures...

 What's wrong with this family picture?  Not the right Man!  Every time Mike takes pictures, everyone jumps in...including Daniel.  As a result, I have lots of "family" pictures with all of us and Daniel instead of Mike.  It's getting kind of funny.  People on the trail kept assuming we were together as well, especially since Caitlin spent the majority of the time on Daniel's shoulders.  I guess Mike should stick a little closer when we take Daniel with us!

 Grandma and Peter stealing a special moment.

 Me taking a break with my little guy.  The rock was so cool and relaxing.

 Handsome little devils!

 This was Peter's main mode of travel.  I have been carrying babies around in this carrier for almost 11 years now.  It has seen some great places.

 Eni the beautiful taking in the wonder of southern Utah.

 This is on the trail to Delicate Arch.  Everyone is armed with their bag of gorp - peanuts, raisins, and M&Ms.  Grandma Jan got us hooked on the stuff, and now we can't go hiking without it.
