Grand Finale: Moab and Arches

The last part of our family adventure was spent in Moab and at Arches. We LOVE Arches. We spent the second night in Moab at a campsite which had a pool. This was wonderful since it was pretty much blazing hot outside!! The kids had a lot of fun, and we finished the evening with a trip for ice cream at a local diner. In the morning after packing up camp, we headed to Arches and spent the morning and early afternoon hiking in Arches National Park. We hiked to Landscape Arch first, and then had lunch. We finished our Arches outing by hiking Sand Dune Arch which is a favorite of the kids. It is short, in the shade, and has a ton of sand for the kids to play in. We filled up water guns for the kids and let them play around with them. We tried to keep them from squirting other hikers coming through, but there were a few hikers who encouraged them to go ahead and squirt them. There were more than a couple people who commented on what a great idea water guns were, obviously wishing they had thought of it! :) It was a great trip! It would be fair and accurate to say that we fed the family fire on this one! What a blast.
