Last weekend we had the fun opportunity to go to Moab. It was a great trip with lots of hiking in Arches National Park and hanging out with wonderful friends. The weather was a bit chilly, but it was sunny and clear which made it nice.
I haven't been to Arches since I was a teenager so it was fun to be there and marvel at the formations. It was also great to realize that most of the arches take less than a mile hike to get to which was perfect for little legs that are too big to be carried.
First off...Double Arch.

We found an awesome place for lunch that was fairly contained with lots of room to run around and climb boulders. It was so fun, in fact, that we went there both days!

After lunch we decided to hike to landscape arch. It was fun and about a mile and a half so good and long for little legs...oh yeah and a 28-week-pregnant-with-twins-friend. If you've never carried twins you just can't know the exhaustion....Lacey, you're a rockstar!! Not to mention that she carried her two-year-old probably half of the time. At this time in my twin pregnancy I was on complete bed rest taking two naps a day and still sleeping through the night. I'm so impressed Lacey and it was great to have your company.

| There was a great sand hill on part of this hike...I couldn't resist the "action." |
 |
| Proof that all these kids made it to the end of the hike...and the parents even survived. | | | | | |

| Thank you Larkins for planning such a great trip! |
 |
| A very successful one indeed! |
