2012 summer vacation part 1

The first stop on our awesome summer vacation 2012 was Moab, Utah. We drove up and met my cousin Chassie and her family. I'm so glad we were able to meet up and share this experience with them.
We have wanted to stop and explore Canyonlands National Park and Arches for years! What a gorgeous area Moab is!
These are pictures from our day at Canyonlands:

 Mesa Arch

 

 Jr. Rangers!

 baby Oliver was such a good baby!

Island in the Sky

We got up early on Sunday and headed to Arches to hike up to the delicate arch

 It was about 50 degrees and the kids were cold! :)

 

 "Kids! Smile!"

 We had to get up early so we could fit this hike into our trip. It was so worth it to see the sunrise

We loved Arches!

From Moab we traveled up to West Jordan to stay with Grams and Gramps before heading to Bear Lake for our H family reunion
