Arches

Just a warning...this is a long post with A LOT of pictures. Ok, now that you are warned I'll go on. On Saturday we headed out in the morning and met Bryan's parents in Moab in the early afternoon. We went and had some delicious Mexican food, then headed out to Arches National Park. I have always wanted to go see Arches so I was excited to be able to go with Mom & Dad Lyman. I hoped Lexie would survive another 3 - 4 hours in the car after we had already spent 4 hours driving to get there. She was really good and never even cried that day after being in the car almost the whole time for 12 hours by the time we got to Blanding that night. The day was perfect because it rained the first hour or two we were there which cooled things off considerably. We did see a bit of sunshine once we got to the Delicate Arch views, but we had a great weather day for our sightseeing. Here are some pictures we took at Arches.

This is called "Balancing Rock"

This is called "Double Arch" It's hard to see but there are two arches together that you can hike under.
This is us with "Double Arch" in the background. We are hiking up to the Window Arches.
Here is the Window Arch we hiked to see while Lexie stayed in the car with Grandpa and Grandma Lyman.

Happy in the car...she was such a good girl!

The famous "Delicate Arch". I would love to do the hike to the arch, but you can't do that with a baby. Maybe another time.
