Weekend in Utah

So over Labor Day weekend we went to SLC to visit with Mike, Jennie & Sophie. We to South East Utah to do some hiking and visit a museum. We hiked in Moab and saw such beautiful sites. It's hard to imagine just how diverse the earth is. It was a great weekend as Scott also came down to join us. We had so much fun having all of our kids together for the weekend!

This is Delicate Arch in the Arches National Park. It was 1 1/2 miles up to this point. That was a bit hard for us older chubby folks but the rest of the gang did fine. There really was only one steep part but it was pretty hot so that made it more challenging.


Scott held the place together for us.





This is a shot of "windows" it is an area that has 2 different windows through the rocks. This one was a lot closer to the parking lot :)
