Yesterday we decide to have a picnic at the delicate arch.
We can do that because we live only an hour away.
It was a perfect day. The sun was shining but there was a cool breeze blowing.
A lot of people must have had our same idea. I think half of Japan and a good chunk of Europe was there. Also, several cute Mormon family's with more than four kids. To say it was crowded, is an understatement.
There is a steep drop off not too far from where we are sitting. We got the girls settled and Nate was passing out sandwich, he went to hand Sierra a sandwich and we couldn't find her. Both our hearts sunk, we started to panic. She isn't a cautious child. I think she has almost killed herself a dozen times and we knew this was it. She had just hit her ninth life. We both immediately ran to the edge and peered over, screaming her name. She popped out from under an outcropping of rocks behind us. She was hiding. I was relieved. Nate was frustrated. He told her to stay by us. I think in the picture she is still irritated with us.... she was just hiding. (Thankfully.)
I think between the crowds and that incident we were ready to go home by the time we got back to the car. We got Slurpee's and went back to Colorado.
