Adventures In Arches



As previously stated, Steve's sister Heather and her husband Steve and their kids, Sierra, Tyler and Austin came to visit us from Missouri. We met them in Moab on the first of July. We spent 2 nights there. It was HOTTER THAN HECK! I believe it was about 112-115 degrees. Yes-sir-ree. And there really isn't any shade. Anywhere in Moab.

The second day we were there everyone got up early to go hike to Delicate Arch. If anyone is familiar with Utah license plates that is the arch on the licence plate which my neighbor happened to design. It is a pretty long hike there and back. I have posted a picture of it before when I was pregnant with Zac and hiked to it. Steve and I decided that it was probably too hot and too long of a hike for Addison so I decided to stay at the hotel with her and Aubrey. We slept in really late while everyone got up and left at dawn. By the time we got up and dressed and ate breakfast at Denny's, everyone else was on their way back. Just as Aubrey and I were leaving Denny's she threw up. What would a vacation be without a little vomit? Thankfully that was the one and only time it happened. It turns out that they left early enough before it was too hot that It probably would have been fine for us all to go. Oh well.

We went to a little park and had lunch and let the kids play. Then went back to Arches and drove around and then had dinner, swam at the hotel and fell into bed exhausted.

It is a distinct place and I love it so much and it kind of makes me sad that it was so hot there that I just wanted to leave. Oh well, I am sure I will be back. We go a least once a year.

I love that pic of steve and the girls and the one of addie too.

And as for the comment about me looking good, thanks. That was at the beginning of the 2 weeks. Wait till you see me at the end of 2 weeks of vacation dining.
