Moab

While my parents where here we decided that going to Moab and Arches would be something that they would enjoy. Thanks to Enterprise, we were able to take vehicles down there to their new office and we didn't have to pay for gas! We did have to ride around in a 15 passenger van for awhile, but it was worth it.

Delicate Arch from the bottom looking up.


Those crazy Michiganders at Balance Rock!

We'd promised Eryn some lizards, so we were really relieved when she finally found one! It was pretty cool that day and we were starting to get nervous... (He's right on the curb to the left of her shadow. Look close!)


Landscape Arch. Mike hiked a little ways to go see this one. It's one of the thinnest and most likely the next one to fall.

We went to the Sand Dune Arch and Eryn sure had a good time running around in there! It's a nice contained area for kids to take off their shoes and run around in the sand and play. (Thanks to the Peacocks for suggesting it!)

This is the Sand Dune Arch!

We stuck our fingers in the Colorado River!

Brooke was there too!

My Dad was pretty excited to see some new landscapes and take some pictures!
