HIKING TO THE ARCHES.....

LAST WEEK...
gRaMps turned 79!!
He wanted to "Go Outback Tonight"
And so we went with the fam.

biRtHdaY bOY!
Then we went to gRaNd JuNcTion
for a Newbold (Andrew's mom's fam)
family reunion.
Andrew and I both hate to drive,
we like to fLY!
But we are poor, so we drove.
And we were pretty sick of the car
by the time we go there...as you can see

But the reunion turned out pretty FuN!

And I won a new Scentsy burner and some scents!!!!!

(actually I didn't win, but Amelia did

and she knew I wanted it so she shared)

LuCkY mE!

On Sunday, Gerald and Raquel invited us

to take the DeTouR home...

And go to ARchEs.

Neither of us had ever been

And we're gamers

So we went.

nieces and nephews climbing North Window
This is the Turet Arch... I tHinK

South Window.... Us up on South Window

It doesn't really look like it, but it was a steep climb

Gerald said we all looked like

MouNtaiN gOats

climbin it

Us with Raquel and the kiddos
(Kylie, Kennedy, Kassidy, Kooper, and Koy)

Where's Gerald in these pics?
Behind the camera or
found laying on a rock like this--
He threw his back out in GrAnD juNctiOn
And he thought this felt nice
Everyone else left and Andrew and I hiked to see Deliquite Arch
(the famous one --the one on licence plates_
The End.

Oh, so sad we couldn't make it- looks like you had a great time...loved the pic of Gerald lying on the rock (it's so Gerald, isn't it?)- come to Texas!

The last time I went to Arches was probably ten years ago but I love hiking to the different arches :)

I am dying to take Ethan to the Arches so on our next visit lets plan a Dibb/Mittelstadt camping trip and go down there! And I have to agree with Kim (even though I don't know her), come to Texas!
