Arches

An Ecuadorian friend is here for a month and we owed her a trip to Arches from the last time she was here.  Ada had to stay for work, but the rest of us and Cristina's family all went down.  It was really nice weather and a very pleasant day.  Sam and Jer kept the little kids busy and happy.  I chatted with the adults and we ate all the skittles in the world.

Lia was terrified of going over to delicate arch.  But, after watching everyone else go over she took a deep breath and went all by herself.  She took 3-4 steps, paused and breathed.... then another 3-4 steps.

This is the first time that I've seen flowers down there. Usually we go in Aug-Oct. It was fun seeing these little purple and yellow flowers sprinkled in.

My favorite picture of Sam.
