This day started out very rainy and cold. We thought we wouldn't be able to do much hiking, but we ventured into Arches hoping the weather would be nice enough to climb at the Windows Arches and Double Arch. It rained the entire drive there, but stopped as soon as we arrived at our destination. The kids loved climbing. This is Brayden out on some ledge.
This is a picture of the kids climbing at Double Arch.
We decided to head back to camp to rest for a couple hours before heading out on our Corona Arch Hike. By the time we started this hike, the weather was perfect. This is towards the beginning of the hike.
When we arrived at the arch, there were several people repelling from the top of the arch. Dave and Brian Ricks wanted to climb on top of the arch, and possibly repel down. They made their way up a little ways, and decided it was a bit too dangerous to risk. I was relieved when they came back.

This is the one of the sections that has cables and foot holds to help you get up and down. Lindsay spent nearly the entire hike with our next door neighbor, Saunder. She loved being with her, and Saunder was so good with her!
We were able to enjoy s'mores without any rain!
Another wonderful day!
