2nd Day in Moab

Our 2nd day in Moab started out a little dreary and overcast. We headed into Arches National Park and hiked to Pine Tree Arch, Landscape Arch, Wall Arch, and Sand Dune Arch. This is Brayden, Jerry, and Paden along the hike.
This is Jaron, Lindsay, and Brayden in front of Landscape.
This is Lindsay posing in front of Pine Tree.
By the time we started hiking, it had gotten pretty chilly and was starting to rain lightly. Lindsay couldn't keep herself from playing in the sand. Even along the trail, she had to constantly bend down to pick up sand and drag her hand through it. Here she is playing in the damp sand.

This is looking down from Wall Arch.
After hiking, we headed to a picnic area for lunch. The kids continued their climbing and exploring. This is Brayden in the "bowl."

After lunch, we headed to the Sand Dune Arch. This is one of our favorites because the kids have a blast playing in the sand, and the adults can relax and talk. We only lasted at the arch less than 20 minutes because the wind picked up and sand was blowing everywhere and we were freezing!
We headed back to camp, and shortly after the rain really started coming down and didn't stop until mid day the next day. Here is the group trying to roast s'mores in the rain.
