We took a trip to Moab with the Smiths this last weekend. The purpose of our trip was to visit Arches National Monument. The Smiths go every year, but we had never been. So we invited ourselves on their family trip and the they accepted! Tara has lived in Utah her entire life and had never visited Arches. Dave has lived here for 20 years and hadn't visited Arches either. Huge mistakes! This is a MUST see national park, not just if you live in Utah, but if you live on the planet! Take a trip to see some amazing stuff. We spent and evening and a full day there, but there was a ton we didn't see. Canyonlands National Park is right next door too. We'll have to see that another day. The kids loved it. We climbed up around cliffs, hiked in the dark with flashlights, and jumped over crevices that made Tara nervous. It was an awesome trip. Thank you Smith family for letting us tag along.

Plenty of places for Britney to explore.

The metal cable on the trail to Corona Arch. We called it the "iron rod."
Balanced Rock. We didn't stop, but Tara took a good pic from a moving car.
The path to Sand Dune Arch. This was the girls favorite place and also the most dangerous.

Stopped to see some petroglyphs and some dinosaur tracks (can you see them?).
