ROAD TRIP: Utah National Parks Part 1

So I have had such a hard time picking pictures of our adventures cause well... Spencer took 23G worth! Yeah so anyway I will break it up.


Day One: Are we there yet?
Traveling was pretty good. We left Saturday morning and drove to Moab for Arches National Park. We got in about 6:30pm. The park camping was full so we ended up at Moab Valley Camp site. It was good...showers, pool and a metal tent over the tent spot.

Day Two: Arches Natl Park

Spencer woke up before sunrise to get some AMAZING pictures! The rest of us joined him later and started off the morning with a 4-5mile hike at Devil's Garden with the Landscape Arch. Totally gorgeous and more than half the hike the kids walked and did GREAT! We were so proud of them. Anyway the arches were beautiful but mother nature showed up about sun set and the wind created a HUGE sand storm so we missed Delicate Arch.


Sunrise at the Three Gossips.


This is also a sunrise photo, I love the landscape.




Another gorgeous sunrise photo! I love the big rock and then moving out to the tower of the rocks. Three Gossips on the left.




The family half way through our hike at Devil's Garden and that is Landscape Arch behind us.





MaKynzee's hat blew off in the wind and Spencer climbed down to get it and found this little guy. I was pretty impressed with Spencer's photography skills.


The kids under a rock over hang, they are too cute in those shades!!



This is my favorite of the Landscape Arch! God just makes seriously beautiful things!

That looks so fun! I'm hoping to do a fun camping trip this summer. Hopefully mo will have time! Maybe we should have spencer take some family photos for us! He does so good...maybe he should just be a photographer for a living!
