Arches National Park in Moab

This past Thursday, me and Jon and the kids and my sister, JaNae who is 5 months pregnant, and her husband, Justin, and their kids ,"Corb" and "Tay", took a few days and camped out in Moab. We had a blast! It was so nice of JaNae and Justin to show us the sights since they had been there before. Hunter and JaNae's boys had so much fun playing in the dirt. We pretty much let them loose in our camp area since it was flat, barren land there. Hunter loved hiking up the trails all by himself (at least part of the way) and he especially loved looking for "widders" (lizards). The kids did pretty good at night. All four of us ended up sleeping in the two person sleeping bag for half the first night and all the second night, though. My favorite arch was definitely Delicate Arch. All of them were so awesome in their own way, though. It was absolutely amazing seeing the beautiful landscape there. I would recommend it to anyone to travel there for a couple of days. You will really come back appreciating this beautiful world the God created. It was so fun to just hang out with JaNae and Justin. They live not too far from where we live, so we usually end up doing stuff with them often. They are so much fun! It was strange coming back home. It felt like we were gone for a couple weeks and we were only gone a couple of days. It was nice not to have to worry about anything back at home and just spend a couple of days enjoying nature. Jon and I can't wait to head back there again soon!
