Grand Arches Adventure -- Day 2

After our first day we had dinner in Moab at a fabulous little Mexican Restaurant, then went back to our camp site on the river.  Eni had never camped before, but was a good sport.  She loved the fire best of all.  And the miracle was that Grandma even camped with us.  Day two started with breakfast, and then off to the park again.

 We started the day at the visitors center.  Josh and Andrew like to do the Junior Ranger program at all the parks we visit, and this was no exception.  Here they are getting their badges.

 The ranger here gave the boys extra special attention.

 Eni wanted a badge too, so I made her go through the whole program, including taking the pledge to protect the park.

 Hiking Landscape Arch

 Awesome Joshua

 hey look...another great "family" photo with Daniel!

 Hey look!  another one!

 Arches really is spectacular and beautiful.  It makes for some great photo ops.

 At the end of a long day of hiking.  The babies totally gave out, and Mike and I were content and tired.  I love this picture.  We look ragged, but happy.

Playing in the beautiful sand below sand dune arch.  We all went barefoot and played like we were at the beach.  It was the perfect way to end our Arches adventure.
