Arches National Park - part 1

During our stay in Moab we spent a good part of two days at Arches National Park. This was our first time there. It was beautiful. October is a good time to spend there since it was cooler. We did a few different hikes. These pictures are from various places.
The family at balanced rock.
mariah and Andrew were my brave climbers. They would scury up each spot and get as high as they could.
Mariah loves to climb. She had a hard time only doing the little hikes. Since we had so many little ones we were not able to do an all day hike like her and I like to do on our vacations. We will have to back another time.
Alyssa was a good helper with Parker. He loved hiking, but as a little kid, he also loved being carried.
I think this is from the North Window. All of my lovely kids.
I even managed to have a few pictures taken of me. I actually like this one!
Mariah and a few cousins sitting on top of the window. They are quite high up.
Andrew has over 50 pictures just of him. Every chance he got he would climb a little higher and make a pose and tell me to take a picture. At one point he told me I should save all the pictures and give them to him when he gets older so he can have memories. Good thinking little man!
Caitlyn is growing up into a beautiful young lady.
Parker is my little cheeser. The kids kept telling him he was at Archeese National Park. He loves to smile. :)
Aaron with his eyes open and a smile. That does not happen often.
Aaron and I together with Delicate Arch in the background. I love that we could do this as a family.
This picture cracks me up. Parker and Taitt were taking some great pictures when baby Edynn decided she needed in on the action. She walked over and plopped herself in the front, got herself posed and gave a great big smile.
Before our first hike to the overview of Delicate Arch.
A Panoramic shot of part of Arches. It doesn't do justice, but you can see a little of what we saw.
