Gosh, I swear I wake up every morning ready to sleep longer – is it the bed? outside noises? busy days? late nights? I do look forward to sleeping in a standard walled home in my comfy (regular length) bed!
So, woke up this morning, and when I finally rolled out of bed we ate some muffins and fruit, packed up lunches, got ready (which always seems to take 10x longer than you expect, moms are you with me here?), and headed out to explore Arches National Park. We were very thankful that it was only 70 degrees when we headed out around 10:30 – it got warmer, but it stayed in the high 70s. We drove around the beautiful park, stopped at some scenic points for photos, and then went on a hike in Devil’s Garden. We walked about 3 miles on red rock, gravel, and red fine sand looking at all the arches. Again, another breathtaking place – got to love these amazing places. Sand stone refined by the small amount of water that runs off of them every year (9 inches a year). The kids had a blast and were exhausted! Mason loves to traverse the off road areas. We also saw some interesting lizards – they seem to be all over this area. My youngest brother would have been all over catching them.
After a bit of lunch in the parking lot, we made our way back to our campground. After popsicles, the kids had some down time watching a movie, Marin took a nap, and Dave worked.
Dinner Menu: chili with cheese and jalapenos, cornbread, watermelon, veggies
Mouse Update: One of the traps caught the last mouse last night. Yeah!!
