We decided that we would take the trailer down to Arches National Park for the UEA break this school year. We were really excited to see all of the sites and have a fun break. We missed having McKaleigh with us...It's definitely not as fun without the whole family! We found petroglyphs, dinosaur bones, dinosaur tracks, hiked, bouldered, climbed the dunes, went horseback riding... all in 2 days! We really know how to pack it in!
Here are A LOT of the pictures from our trip.
We began our vacation with a trip into Arches National Park. The hike to Delicate Arch was pretty high on everyone's list, so we headed out - along with a ton of other people. It was a really busy hike! Here are the Petroglyphs in the background and another close up. They were really cool and detailed!
All of us at Delicate Arch...We waited in the long line to stand under the arch, but we look like specks in that picture!
The boys climbed everything that they could climb!
Arches for days...
Having a bit of fun at Balanced Rock!
Near our campsite there were The Dunes! The boys wanted to head over there every night after a full day - and they wanted to stayed till dark. Here is a picture of "THE HILL" I challenged the boys to...I made it to the top! However, it was WAY after they did!
Here is mommy, pulling Colton down the dunes, while Alex rolled down - getting sand in his eye, nose, mouth and every pocket of his pants!
One morning we followed a map hunting dinosaur bones and dinosaur tracks. Here we are pointing to the bones encased in the rock - We found about 10 sites of dinosaur bones.
And there was a site of about 100 tracks. Alex took pictures of them, but I like this one best.
The horse back ride was my favorite! It was the boys first ride!
Here is Colton saddled up and ready to go.
Heading off on the trail! Alex rode a 33 year old mule named Honeybee. He loved that guy! He even went kind of fast sometimes!
We had so much fun and can't wait to go back and visit more National Parks! The trailer is such a success for our family. Every night we would go back, play games, watch movies and have a great time! I am so glad that we have the opportunity to make these memories!
