Arches National Park 2009

For the Fourth of July this year we decided to take the kids camping and we decided that we'd go and visit some of the beautiful places in Utah. So we packed up and headed down to Moab, Utah. We camped at a little campground called Canyonlands Campground. We were fortunate enough to have a swimming pool at the campground. The kids loved it.

You can see that our tent barely fit in our tent site, but we made the best of it and had a great time!

On Saturday morning we decided to visit the Arhces National Park. It was absolutely amazing! We took the kids up to the "Delicate Arch" this is the arch that Utah is most famous for. It was a 3 mile round trip hike. Tanner loved it, Karsten (as you can see in the picture) was not such a "happy" camper, and Trenton just wanted to be carried the whole way.

Here is Tanner and myself. He was really excited to go under the arch, so we walked over and had Trevor take some pictures. It was a little intimidating walk. But we're glad that we went.

Here is a picture of Tanner and I under the "Delicate Arch" It really is a site to see!

Here are the boys at the Court House. They though there were so tough for climbing up to the top.

Tanner found his own little corner. He is getting so big!

Trevor though that this would make a cool pic....he was right!

Just hangin' out!

Isn't he just cute as a button!

This was taken in Cayonlands National Park. There are some pretty amazing sites to be seen!

If I remember correctly, this used to be the Green River.

This was part of Arches National Park. Simply amazing that these were all created naturally.
