We took our annual May camping trip last weekend. We decided to go back to Moab and enjoy the beautiful weather before it got too hot. It was perfect for hiking and running around. The rainstorm on Friday didn’t even dampen the boys spirits. They thought it was great that Heavenly Father made it so their fire didn’t go out in the rain. Ahh, the simple faith.
We spent almost all Friday at Arches National Park.
I had originally been planning on hiking out to the Delicate Arch this year. Alas, we forgot to pack the hiking backpack. So we spent the day doing the shorter hikes.
Garrick had a blast playing in the dirt and rocks whenever he could. It is a good thing he has decided he doesn’t like to eat dirt anymore.
A little bit of rock climbing during lunch.
Haden was actually the go-getter on climbing up this rock. Then Connor decided he couldn’t let his little brother beat him out. Dan was more than willing to let us go at this alone.
The longest hike we did was out to the Broken Arch. After that I took the boys on a quick detour to walk to the Sand Dune Arch. They thought the sand dunes were great!
Connor ended up walking the rest of the way back to the car with bare feet. He thought he was pretty tough after that.
It was a long and exhausting day, but overall a success. The boys did everything to get their Jr. Ranger badges before we left.
Boy we tired them out, but they were so proud of those badges!
I love all the pictures! Sounds like you guys had fun.
