Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful,

for beauty is God’s handwriting.”

Arches National Park

Everywhere you look at this park is eye candy.  I went a little picture happy, but it was so beautiful!


Cairns marked our way




Balancing Rock



 The crew ALMOST to Delicate Arch.  We didn't follow the cairns on this part and ended up going the hard way.  It was slick and hundreds of feet down.  It made us all a little nervous, but there was no going back.

 It was absolutely amazing.  I'll never look at another Utah license plate the same again!


















We had a kindness contest to see who could get caught doing the most acts of kindness on camera.  The winner got a night out with mom.  Conner definately went the extra mile.  I loved seeing the kind acts but was also flattered by their wanting to win a night out with me!  Everyone was awesome.
This is Sand Dune Arch.  The sand was really fine, just like a cool beach.  Not Terrence's favorite 'cause he hates the sand.  To me it felt like home.  Just needs the sounds of the crashing waves.






Broken Arch






The picture below gives perspective as to how high they are (if you look closely you can see them in the bottom left corner).  They had to climb up the back way and it was quite a hike.  This is the South Window of the Windows Arches.

Even the moon got into the act.  Arches was stunning.  We loved it!
Tomorrow:  Canyonlands
