Arches National Park

K so here are my pictures that I took at Arches National Park! How pretty that entire park is, I tell you what. The hike was nice, nice to move my muscles in a different way other than walking around the house or the neighborhood. It was so windy at the top and it was threatening to rain on us so we didn't stay long and didn't go right up to it. We will have to do that on another visit there.


My cute boys. Jeff was so great and carried Jace the entire time, I did offer but he said he was fine. He got one heck of a workout though, adding on an extra 25 lbs!

This one was taken just below Delicate Arch on the trail, the scenery was so beautiful!


My cute little man enjoying the hike. So many people who passed us kept saying " now that is the way to travel!" He thought so too until it got closer to the end then he was just done and wanted a nap. Such hard work for the 10 1/2 month old ;)




Yup this is when he was done, he kept snuggling his face into Jeff's back and rubbin those eyes. He still seemed to enjoy it though.



Here is a yellow Cactus flower, pretty huh?! I had never seen a cactus flower in the wild, they are much prettier in the wild than the plastic ones that they glue on to the top of the ones in the store.


Here are more Indian Pictorgraphs. These were actually just past the trail head to the Arch. They are much better preserved than the ones we saw Sunday in Nine Mile Canyon. This is because these are actually robed off so nobody can touch them. Atleast the honest people. It is so cool to see these kind of things, makes history that much more real to me.


Pretty rock formation in Arches, one of many, many, many!


This one is taken just to the right of the last one. Can you believe what nature can do to these rocks, they looked so cool :) I hope we can go again soon!
