Fall break drive back, John Wesley River Museum in Green River

Our Get out pass allowed us a free entrance to this museum in Green River. It's just a small river museum but I read a book about the Colorado River earlier this summer which was SO fascinating, so I was excited to stop for a little bit. This mountain man shared lots of fun stories.

It did have some cool dino displays as well.

 

Last day in Moab, getting our junior ranger badges, and Moab Diner

Got them!

Eating at the moab diner. This was Ryan's banana split that was huge!

Back at our hotel the Saturday breakfast .

Pictures to see the cool Halloween gear.

 

Park Avenue, Arches National Park

We went over to Park Avenue after we finished Delicate Arch. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but last time we were there, the kids were just done hiking by the time we were going to head that way, so we just didn't do it. I was so excited to get back. I love this picture of Evelyn and I!

I LOVED this area. It reminded me so much of Monument Valley in a way, which I LOVE. The girls liked pretending they were holding up the mountain.

The picture of the whole family before we started back down.

Heading back down.

 We didn't do the whole hike because Adeline DESPERATELY had to go to the bathroom, but enough that I loved it!

Cute pic of me and Evelyn again.

Looking at a cool cairns.

So so pretty. It also reminded me of a more spacious Capitol Reef, which I love too.

Liam smiling!

Delicate Arch Part 4, the finish!

Coming out of the hike. Evelyn was proud she did it.

Hiking back down the slick rock area.

If you look closely you can find the parking lot.

Right near the entrance they had this little pioneer cabin that was fun to look into.

Done with the trail!

This picture of Adeline made me laugh.

Delicate Arch Hike Part 2

Another family picture.

I think this is called "the bowl" that you can go around to go under the arch. I decided to just stay by over where we took the family picture because I knew I would be so worried about my kids running around over there, so Ryan went over there and was braver than me.

They also climbed this little mountain over by the arch.

And here is a good picture of the arch.

Proof I was there.

Ryan and the girls under the arch.

More under the arch with the girls and Ryan. I took these from the family picture spot I was at.
