It's not a vacation until someone gets hurt. . . .

Last weekend I traveled down to Arches National Park for a quick hiking / camping trip with some folks from the neighborhood. We had so much fun and had many adventures. We had to be back for the Primary program on Sunday so we were really only there for about 24 hours. Here are just a few of the things that we did.

Here we are at Delicate Arch. It was quite the hike to get there especially since it was smack dab in the middle of the day.




So we all decided to jump over this bush and land in the sand. Well it did not go so well for Amy. She may look like she is having fun, but come Friday when they harvest a tendon from her hamstring to repair her ACL that she blew out while landing the jump, I think fun will not be in her vocabulary.


This is Kristi and I at an arch. Not sure which one but it was still neat!


Here are some of the kids. It was fun to follow them around and see all the places they found to explore. They took us into tiny slot canyons and up huge rocks and they never ran out of energy.

Cool pictures! We ARE lucky (blessed) to have such a good neighborhood, aren't we! Glad YOU are in it!

That was a great "quick" trip. We live in a kick butt neighborhood and are surrounded by beautiful things to look at. Sweet Pictures.... can you make me a CD of those

I think that one might be Skyline... I love that pic of Amy jumping! I cannot believe that she is going in for surgery tomorrow :( What a bummer.

Nice action shot of Amy! She needs to have that one framed...well, maybe in a few months when she can laugh about it!
