Arches National Park

I wasn't sure how much camping we would be able to do this summer with a new baby and all.  I wanted to make sure we had at least one Fun Family Camping Trip this year so I decided to plan one over Spring Break.  We were hoping to have a big group of Family and Friends to come with us, but sickness and bad weather caused most of them to cancel.  It ended up being just us and Grandma and Grandpa.  The weather actually stayed remarkably nice.  We didn't even get the predicted rain showers.  It did get a little chilly when the wind blew, but other than that it was wonderful.  I even slept really well on our air mattress in the tent.  Here are some pictures of our trip

DAY ONE-we set up camp and the boys played at the playground and made new friends




DAY TWO-we stopped at the visitor center first to get a map and some fun pictures




After that we went to the Balanced Rock


Then to the Sand Dunes Arch which was the boys Favorite




Here are some other things we did and saw while we where in Arches
Double Arch
Elephant Rock

Corbin was getting a bit grumpy and didn't want to hike anymore
 We went to Canyonlands National Park on the last day.  It was cold and really windy.  We didn't feel like hiking much
Sorry for so many pictures.
