Arches National Park

Hurray for camping at Arches National Park with our friends the Lees! This post is so much easier to write about than saying goodbye. This camping trip we took 'on our way' to Arizona actually eased the leaving process since we didn't have to say goodbye to absolutely everyone before we left! We camped just outside of Arches for a few days and enjoyed all sorts of weather :) but best of all we did some amazing hikes . . . with THREE kids. Way to to go Chris and Sara for putting up with us. 

So here are some highlights of the trip - there are tons of pictures, so enjoy - or just scroll past if you aren't really all that interested.

(If my slide shows aren't showing up - just close the them with the 'x' in the corner)

These are my Favorites of Annabelle and Benny

On our last day of the trip we had rain so we decide to take to explore Moab a little bit and found this amazing Park just as the weather began to clear. It was a Rotary Park but in one section there were all these GIANT percussion instruments. It was so much fun.

 

We all (adults and kids) just kept playing and playing on them. It was so much fun it was hard to stop yourself from running from instrument to instrument to try them all out. I seriously think it was the absolute BEST public park I have ever been to! Sara noticed a little plaque on one of the instruments that gave this website - check it out! Seriously - if I ever have funding for a public park at my disposal, I will be installing these.

Our last adventure in Utah was awesome. Check back later this week and I'll have an update with how the move has gone on the Arizona side of things!

Movie Star

It's funny how quickly a pair of sunglasses gave Annabelle this little attitude. I think our little 'celebrity' is ready for some sunshine!
Note:Ever since we bought her these on Tuesday she has worn them: to a dim restruant, every single car ride, to the MOVIES, (even while watching the movie in a dark theater) AND walking home at night.
