Fall break

For our Fall Break we decided to go hiking.  We spent the night in Green River at this cute place called River Terrace.  Comfortable, beautiful river, a pool, etc...


Our first hike was the 3 mile hike to Delicate Arch.  That was so fun.  It's a fun terrain, and beautiful.  The kids did terrifically until we got over the top of the ridge... then it was extremely windy.  Seth screamed until I took him behind an outcropping, Evelyn was scared so I took her with me, Sam and Ada both went with Jer to see it better.




This was Evelyn's favorite.  She loved this little window with the view of the arch.





Sam was a little traumatized when they got back, but he recovered as we went down.


We took the little side path to see the petroglyphs too.  That was fun.

We also went to the sand dune arch.  That was always my favorite.  I love the soft a beautiful sand.






We had a soccer ball in the car and when we stopped for lunch, it was a perfect time to kick it around.




The wind kicked up here too.  It was fun until the wind kicked up again.











The third one we went on was the landscape arch.  Totally we saw about 9 arches.  Seth was done after this one.  He found a piece of driftwood and turned it into a car.  It was so funny.  Evelyn kept swiping branches back and forth on the path saying that she was erasing the foot steps.  Seth was counting too.  He was jumping from rock to rock saying, "1,2,3,4,5... 1,2,3,4,5.... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.... 5,4,3,2,1."
